AgendaI. Explore Nested Structure of Web 2.0

WikisI. Efficacy: How do we make them good?II. Equity: Do only certain kids get the good
ones?IV. Dip in to the data

What are wikis and why should we study them?• DEFINITION: Wikis are Web sites where any one can

(blogs, wikis, social networks, discussion forums) is growing exponentially in education, and transforming our society
• STUDENT-CENTERED: A democratic, citizen-centered ideology is “baked into” wiki architecture making them promising platforms for teaching 21st century skills
• ***NESTED, RETROSPECTIVE CORPUS***: Wikis preserve their entire history of activity in a nested data structure that allows research of infinitely variable granularity (like Google Earth) 3
