I have been working with my S3 class just now on revision, how quickly the exams come around! Normally I would encourage pupils to create and share revision notes and questions to try and brighten up what can sometimes be a dull time in class, with endless past paper work, revisiting old topics, writing lots of notes, and so on. However, I have decided to try something different this year: a Wiki!
For those of you new to the idea of Wikis, it's quite simple: essentially it's just a group of web pages that anyone can edit and add content to. Exc-el already has a Wiki site here . My hope is that this will encourage the pupils to research topics both in class and at home, then add to the Wiki. Initial results seem quite promising, as you can see if you visit our Wiki.
