I found my Burke County Schools on Wikipedia. This is the district that I used to work in when I taught in Georgia. The school I taught at was SGA Elementary. I changed two things on this Wikipedia page. The first thing I did was corrected the address to the Central Office. The second thing I did was added a link to my school. I made it so that when you click on S.G.A. (Sardis Girard Alexander) Elementary School it takes you to the school website. I enjoyed doing this. When I have more time I will link the other schools to their web sites as well.
Here is a link to the Wiki page I created:
Kimberly's Wiki Page
It has a link on it that takes you to the other page I made.
Learning about Wikis had been a great experience for me. I plan to use them more in the future.
I'm hoping that you can find a nice collaborative way to use Wikis with your students. They can be a great way to quickly publish content for teachers, but the real power comes when you start letting your students edit the wiki on a regular basis.
