Wikify Your Course: Designing and Implementing a Wiki for Your Learning Environment
By Marybeth Green and Gerri Maxwell

AWNM Wikified Research Papers
"As the culmination of their study of //A Whole New Mind//, Anne Smith and Maura Moritz’s students had to complete a Wikified Research Paper."

"I blogged last year about some of our ninth graders reading //A Whole New Mind// by Daniel Pink, and discussing it not only with each other, but with over 30 educators from around the world and Daniel Pink himself."

2. Wikified Research Paper - Arapahoe High School
"What is different about this paper is that we are asking you, our students, to publish your paper in a wiki format, allowing you to use links in your argumentative paper to your actual research and go beyond the limits of the usual typed paper. Students could add data, photos, audio and video links, etc."

[|Wikified Research Paper- Year 2]
"In most English classes, inventing new verbs is reserved for confused students. However, in [|English 9 honors], wikified has become a universal verb penned by none other than the teacher herself. As last year’s classes dipped their feet in Daniel Pink’s //[|A Whole New Mind]//, they also embarked on a research paper, however this paper was far from ordinary."

4. Wikified Research at Penn State University
Several courses at Penn State assign wikified research as a part of course work. Because the work is created at PSU Wikispaces, a password protected environment, an example assignment and a portion of a completed assignment have been copied to Word files for your viewing.
