Wikis in the Classroom
Wikis encourage group social interaction and collaboration and support asynchronous communication allowing users to contribute at a time, and from a place that suits them. Many students find that their learning is most effective when they are actively involved in the construction of their knowledge.

Second Life Education Wiki
Second Life provides a unique and flexible environment for educators interested in distance learning, computer-supported cooperative work, simulation, new media studies, and corporate training.
Second Life provides an opportunity to use simulation in a safe environment to enhance experiential learning, allowing individuals to practice skills, try new ideas, and learn from their mistakes. The ability to prepare for similar real-world experiences by using Second Life as a simulation has unlimited potential!

Wikiversity
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversity
Wikiversity
Wikiversity is a collection of open content courses that are being collaboratively written on this website.
This site is a wiki, meaning that anyone, including you, can edit any course module right now by clicking on the edit this page link that appears in every Wikiversity module.
The primary audience of Wikiversity are students. This differs from other open content learning centers such as MIT Open Courseware, whose primary audience are fellow instructors. The difference is in the type and focus of material in a course.
At one of those websites, the focus is on syllabi and schedules. Wikiversity's focus is on putting out enough material to actually explain course concepts to the student. Educators are welcome to use this material under the GFDL, but facilitating this is not the project's primary goal.
Wikiversity and wikibooks have a lot of overlap. This section discusses the differences between them, and how to determine which you should publish at.
The major difference between the two is the difference between a course and a book. A course combines multiple methods of learning, to increase the chance of a student learning.

My Brilliant Failure: Wikis In Classrooms
http://kairosnews.org/node/3794
My Brilliant Failure: Wikis In Classrooms
I was using wiki during a six-week workshop on visual design in web development for non-experts.
I used the wiki to create presentations, and allow the class to edit the content, in addition to completing tasks on pre-created empty links and SeedPostings (as they are called in wiki-speak).
I wanted to see something magical happen, and it didn?.
Why something that seems so obvious to me now could not have been seen before is just mind-boggling. In a way, I see this experiment as a brilliant failure.

2006 Wikipedia CD Selection
http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/charity-news/education-cd.htm
2006 Wikipedia CD Selection
SOS Children have released a free encyclopaedia (with 8000 images and 4000 pages worth of text) made up of articles cleaned up and selected from Wikipedia, and aimed at improving awareness of the world around us amongst 8-15 year olds.
They include articles of particular interest to children (dinosaurs, space travel, the Solar System, plants and animals) and a wide variety of other scientific and geographical topics.
We judge the content to be child friendly and allows a ?urfing?experience with many cross-linked articles within a safe offline environment.
The encyclopaedia can be downloaded as a zip file together with a copy of the SOS Children UK website with some details of our work in 125 countries.

One to One Computing in Independent Schools
This wiki is for independent school educators to share information about working in learning environments where every student has a computer. Want to share information about what it's like to teach English to 7th graders who have laptops? Want to ask questions of teachers at laptop schools? Want to rant or rave about teaching laptop enabled students? If yes, then this is a wiki you should use. If no, well then go somewhere else.
