Wikis sound like an exciting, engaging, collaborative way for students to learn. They can create all kinds of lists--content word walls, vocabulary, parts of speech, rhyming, synonyms, antonyms, etc.--as a class, in teams, or individually. Other ideas can be Reading Response Wikis, class Content, Test Review or End of Unit Wikis, KWL Wikis, and Book Review Wikis. Finally, what a great motivating tool for students' journaling & development of writing and editing skills.
As a team and/or department, wikis would really help to keep us updated & facilitate sharing of resources & planning ideas. I would consider bookmarking or use Google Reader--whichever one is updated automatically--for easy access. I'll have to become a little more familiar with these resources to decide which works best for me. There's still so much to learn!
