Using a Wiki as a Instructional Strategy

I've started using wikis to give my students "homework" that engages them in a more social way. They love it! They talk about their wiki and are proud to tell me they are working on it. I think they like having a site that they need a password to enter. The were especially excited to develop their very own sports wiki. I see a great future for an online "newspaper" that can be peer edited. The possibilities are endless.
