Ideas from Social Science and English wikis..

__Pictures, videos, and sounds!__ My students like having visuals to go with their learning of heavy content, such as in history. It's a good way to display propaganda and other images from the time period to give historical context. I add documentaries as well as podcasts.

Here is an example of a video link (see 'How To' page for directions on how to embed a video link) History Video

Here is an example of a podcast embedded in a wiki (see 'How To' page for directions on how to embed a podcast): Podcasts to listen to

__Ideas on organising your wiki__ You can have one wiki with a page for each of your classes. You can make a link for each page on your navigation section of the wiki (usually on the left or right of your screen). The benefits of having one wiki for all your classes are that you only have to go to one wiki to do your work (saves time) and that some of your students can access other classes' discussions and topics out of their own interest.

You can also have a wiki for each of your classes. A benefit of this is that your students feel it's their own space.

Or you can divide your wiki up into 'topics'.

__Making it Public__ Learners can use the wiki as a place to publish or share their work.
