My ninth grade students are quite familiar with Wikis and its uses in gathering information about a wide range of topics. When I asked them what they thought was a good idea for a Wikis concept, most of them decided to give information about our team name in our Freshman Academy program. They showed genuine interest in trying to construct a meaningful Wikis that made sense to them, they had total control over, and was personalized. They wanted to get involved with the project by contributing information about their lives at JFKHS. Ownership is their primary concern and this topic will certainly give them an advantage over everyone else in terms of information they know about a topic.
