I think the Wiki concept on paper is a very good one. What a great tool to have the kids collaborate together and make their own "webpage" on a certain topic. But, as often occurs with new technology, the idea in my brain of a Wiki and the end product was not the same.
Erik Vanags and I tried to incorporate Wikis earlier this year when teaching World History I to our freshmen. I had invisioned this great website that all the kids could edit and add to. What came out was a decent compilation of material, but it's aesthetic value was rather low. I would like to use Wikis later this year, perhaps through Wikispaces which seems easier than Moodle.
I love the idea...perhaps next time it will serve our purposes better.

I agree. This was extremely confusing for junior high students.
