Micropedia

=**Wikis as a Micropedia**=

Based upon Bernie Dodge's [|EduWiki Design Patterns], Micropedia is modeled after Wikipedia - the community developed encyclopedia. Students work independently and collaboratively to create a focused collection of information.

**Why?**
The question is actually why not? Empower and embolden them. Give them the opportunity to act professional/academically online. They need the practice, trust me. Plus, it could save a tree or two or allow you to take a traditional in class assignment to the next level.

**What does it look like?**

 * Example #1:** **[|AP World History Review]**

How do I do this?

 * 1) Develop the project and its requirements.
 * 2) Create the "front page" of the project that provides relevant information.
 * 3) Create any sub-pages, for instance, links to individual student pages - don't have all the students try and edit the same page to create the link to their own page.
 * 4) Make sure you consider the Wiki Logistics.
 * 5) Provide enough screen time for students to complete or at least start the project.
