A.M. – I’ve been to your Great Expectations wiki; looks like it will be a valuable study aid resource once it’s done! Once you’ve got some more content up, I’d advertise and link it as many places as you can (Wikispaces has a great directory of educational wikis to which you can add yours). Once people start clicking thru, Google will “take notice”, and eventually your students’ wiki will start showing up in Google searches for “great expectations” and related terms.

Best of luck!

After much anticipation, I am setting up a wiki to introduce to my class tomorrow. We are starting Great Expectations and I have set up a wiki for them. Here’s the site: http://strzyzgreatexpectations.pbwiki.com/
We haven’t started yet, but I’d love to have some feedback.

thanks for your help and inspiration!

My Honors British Lit students (11th-12th grade) recently constructed this wiki guide to the British Romantic era: http://britishromanticism.wikispaces.com …if A.M. Strzyz is still checking these comments, I also have some information for teachers outlining my experience on the wiki.

Next year, I’m hoping to get my students engaged in a long-distance collaborative project with another class – I really see that as the ultimate utilization of wiki technology, at least at this point.

I love this idea and am interested in trying it my classroom. Does anyone have a resource that I can go to in order to learn how to set one up? I am so new to this “world” that any information can help.
