An excellent presentation on wikis & writing and how they can be used to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom. Also shares some meaningful stats regarding language development, explains and gives examples on web 1.0 & 2.0 tools and social media.
An awesome chart explaining the difference between Blogs, Wikis & Collaborative Documents - well worth a look if tossing up between them. Has the good & bad points for each tool, and also has examples of each tool being used in the classroom. Great reference point
Great way to have students engage with any web content. Will work in Flock and Firefox. Very interesting, it turns every webpage into a wiki. A great study tool especially for secondary students.

If you want your students to use the internet for research, but find that sites such as Wikipedia can overwhelm students and contain too much information - then you might like to take a look at the Simple English Wikipedia.
The Simple English Wikipedia uses simple English words and grammar to explain topics.
There are 70,000 articles on the site, a fraction of the 3 million articles that are on the main wikipedia page, but enough for most students. Check before you send kids towards the site that it contains the topics you want them to research. If it doesn't you could always create a page and add the information yourself - or make it a goal for the research project to write a page!
