I looked at some wikis that were done by eighth graders. They covered topics on global warming, acid rain, pollution, species endangerment, and more. Each one was slightly different, but most had the same outline of order. The page would show up with different titles to click on. They would have the general background information, pictures, videos, three year plans, funding resources, and other links. The wiki had the basics on them plus different media to add to the learning process.
A wiki is a type of software that is used to put information on and keep it up to date on the web browser. There are many different things that one can do with a wiki. Like setting up videos and pictures or different effects. Having students make their own wiki is a great group presentation. They learn about a certain topic and present it in a way that is interesting to others. In this process, they also learn technology skills and present things different. The website that discussed on a particular educational wiki is http://helpingstudents.org/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp?page=Wikis
