Students can construct deep knowledge about a topic as they engage in building a multimedia project. If used effectively, a well designed student-driven learning experience can take the place of traditional methods of teaching content. Use of digital tools can provide students with flexible learning paths to meet their unique learning styles.
Are you interested in being a part of a dynamic digital environment capable of changing the world of education? There are wikis out there that are just waiting for you to join and offer up your $.02. From wikis on teaching in the United Kingdom to art to web 2.0 tools, there's a wiki for everyone.
The list of wikis below is just a smattering of some of the best open wikis available today.

That's the official Wikipedia definition. What better place to get a proper definition, right? Anyway, check out each one of these terrific wikis today and do your best to join or at least monitor what's happening on them. Enjoy!

While creating digital magazines or newspapers can be done in a word processor, there are dedicated sites that elevate this art to a whole new level.
Top 10 sites for Creating Digital Magazines/Newspapers
1. Issuu - One of the most popular and successful online digital magazine creators/publishers around, with a very nice user interface.
2. Yudu - Upload a document or PDF to create an online magazine that can be emailed our or embedded into a site.
3. Openzine - Very user friendly site with an abundance of templates and layouts to create a professional-looking magazine and share online.

5. Scribd - A very popular Web 2.0 site for creating online content and publishing.
6 Fodey - A fun site to create a newspaper and then download to print out or put on a blog or site.
7. Zinepal - A great way to bring the news to students by "clipping" online articles. This is a wonderful site for those making the move to ebook readers.

I just think that this site will enable us teachers who are quite iliterate in terms of web tools to be able to get closer to our students who are phd in using them, and then feel confident enough to use these resources to teach.
Cecília,
Larry Ferlazzo's site is just great to follow. In some weeks, you'll learn how to follow its updates without even getting to his site! I'm sure you could spend a lifetime exploring all the resources he makes available for teachers.
