Here are some good samples of wikis: http://mrsibrahim.wikispaces.com/ **ABC** **Learning Resources Centre:** [] [] There are many good wiki sites. Do a search of “educational wikis,” and you will see many responses. Wikis are used to build professional learning communities and to share knowledge and resources. Practitioners can share and learn. 3. Training wikis Computer training wikis are posted in “Teacher Shortcuts” on shares. These give teachers a quick reference about trainings they have attended. 3. The NRE Literacy Wiki You don’t have to know a login or password to use and edit the NRE Wiki. Just go to this website: http://nreliteracy.wikispaces.com/ Go to the “links” section of the navigation bar. Some informational links are posted there. You can add your own favorite vocabulary links to this section. You could also go to the lessons section and share a lesson with your colleagues. Notice toward the bottom of the navigation panel that some of the forms you use with vocabulary instruction are available for printing.
