https://blackboard.newpaltz.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tab_id=_2_1&url=%2Fwebapps%2Fblackboard%2Fexecute%2Flauncher%3Ftype%3DCourse%26id%3D_45721_1%26url%3D This wiki, from what I gathered was more of a review of Earth Science topics like: Astronomy, Tectonics, Natural Disasters, Rock/Minerals, Soils and weather. I find this a good way to give kids access to info at all times. Without having to flip through a book I think kids are mroe likely to look through information. There is a nasty stigma on READING you TEXTBOOK. It's just one of those things I Guess and this Wiki helps students get the info minus reading their books. It would also make a good review.

Jeanne: Here is a wiki from my son's 8th grade ELA class. It's an ongoing joint project between Onteora Middle School and a school that serves a military base in Jordan. It's password protected, I'll email you a way in: http://acs-oms.wikispaces.com/

Cheryl: https://year-13-shakespeare.wikispaces.com/space.menu This is a link to a wiki that has a lot of information on Shakespeare. I know I always end up going back to him, but I feel that Shakespeare can be so difficult for students sometimes and if I don't teach them about him, someone else will. This wiki provides many tools and links to visual options as well. Shakespeare's works were meant to be seen anyhow, right?
