Abstract

Technology is central to the lives of our students. They have different expectations for learning, given their comfort with technology of all kinds and their familiarity with collaborative learning. The use of a wiki is exactly this: constructing knowledge together. This project was designed for and completed by 10th grade students at a large, urban high school in the Central Florida area. This collaborative construction of knowledge developed into a multi-page, multi-purpose, and multi-media wiki that far exceeded any original expectation for a book report.
