Again, I was excited to find something I already had experienced. It was especially funny to watch the video, because my Wiki experience was while planning a trip to Traverse City with several friends. We rented a house together and coordinated our menus, what we would bring as far as soap, toilet paper, etc., and what activities we might want to do while we were there. It turned out to be a great experience and we were definitely well-planned.
I was inspired by the classroom wikis about classwork. The Hanalee Book Wiki was great. I liked reading the chapter summaries. It made me want to read the book. My language students could create summaries of grammar rules, with examples that would be useful as they study for quizzes and tests. We just got a new student at the beginning of the 4th quarter. He has had no Spanish experience and the rest of the class is almost halfway through Spanish 1 (they finish next year as 8th graders). He's got a lot of catching up to do and a Wiki would be a great resource.
I think this would also be helpful as a planning tool for school open houses, staff meetings, and field trips. I especially like the ability to limit access to a group and being able to track old versions.
