Wiki Vocabulary Lists and more

I had students in my 6th grade Internet class create a class list of technology terms. Each student was assigned a different word and their assignment was to use Internet resources discussed in class to find a user friendly definition. Each student posted their word and it's definition on the table in the Wiki...and the result was a complete list of technology terminology.

Check out our Tech Terms Wiki generated by the Internet cycle students.

Other suggestions for wiki uses: have students create a vocabulary list when reading a book as a class, have students create a table of facts about a specific topic - characteristics of the planets, living and non-living things, the role of specific countries in WWII, etc. Each student would enter one piece of information resulting in one complete table.
