Viva el Wiki ("Cosa 6")

Establishing a PBWiki is not an "Impossible Dream" worthy of Don Quixote--it is surprisingly easy, as I discovered today. The hard part appears to be making it interesting and managing it well. That is the next phase for my Wiki, "hispanismo" and I welcome ideas from any and all readers.
My goal is have student contributors both create and edit content on topics related to Spanish study, especially topics of value to AP Spanish students. Any ideas for refining this concept?
A student contributed a link for a Wiki site for statewide debate that may be of interest to you: http://wiki.debatecoaches.org/index.php?title=Main_Page. I plan to try and model my Wiki on this.

Having a whole class post to one site to share knowledge and insight could be valuable. If you want to brainstorm ways to use it, we could get together sometime on your prep...or before school.

Great pic of Don Quixote. I always love these class-wide art projects where everyone contributes.

The examples of teachers' pages at pbwiki might be helpful, too: http://www.publicpbwikis.com/9-12_High_School/Educational/9-12_High_School/

I'm glad you are finding pbwiki easy to use ... if you have any questions, feel free to email me anytime. Looking forward to seeing your wiki!
