I am just beginning to look at this as a possible teaching tool. I teach AP Computer Science (high school) and can see this as a way that students together can work on class notes, reading notes, study guides, help and examples with their coding. I intend to assign my students specific pages to complete either as individuals or as teams - as part of their grade.

So I've put up a Wikka installation for my school in hopes that other teachers will see this as a way to encourage students to collaborate in their learning. But the other teachers are (not surprisingly) rather resistent to new technology so I am looking for ways to easily administer the Wikka site and provide a simplified structure so the teachers are not totally baffled (students will be fine with it since many have used wikis). My administrator is somewhat interested but cautious.

The Wiki idea was presented at the recent Advanced Placement Computer Science Exam reading - with enough positive discussion about the need for supervision that I was convinced that it could work.

my email address is cfischer5deletethis@comcast.net (remove deletethis). I would be very interested in hearing from others who are working in a high school environment.
