I have a couple of ideas knocking around in my head about utilizing Wikis to promote sound tech learning. One is to have the students spend some time roaming around Wikipedia, until they find stub entries or empty pages in subjects they have interests in. Then they would do the research to expand those stubs into full-fledged Wikpedia entries, in the proper format (including references).

Another would be to create our own Wiki, and populate it with information that the kids would find useful in school. I got the idea from a 10th grade personal project that a student of mine did last year, a "survival guide" for our school. The kids would populate this wiki with information that other students, especially the younger ones, would find useful. This would become the basis of a "User Guide to BSGE", which will provide advice, coping strategies, and resources the students can use, updated with new information as the students gain experience.

BTW, feel free to "steal" either of these ideas, if in fact they are original, and not accidentally stolen by me because i didn't remember where they came from.
