The biggest hurdle I have encountered in getting kids to use the wiki spaces is getting them to use their school email account to join wiki. The most common complaint I have had is that they don’t know their school email account, followed by they never use their account and if you want something to be relevant, then we should let them use their personal email accounts. I feel that active participation is better than passive defiance, so if there is no other alternative, I have let some students use their personal email accounts to join wiki. My senior level AP European History class is fully signed up and committed to using their AP Euro Wiki space accounts. I have achieved this participation by putting “candy” out there for the AP students. What is “candy” for an AP student? “Candy” is posting PowerPoints, study guides and sample test questions on wiki. The next step is to get students to start blogging questions and answers after I give lectures on the relevant materials and to get the students to participate in on-line discussions on AP European History topics, i.e.,”Which is more relevant to the development of 18th century Europe -- the agricultural revolution or the industrial revolution?” The AP European History class is farther along in the use of wiki spaces, primarily because of its smaller class size and because most of the students are seniors and more sophisticated in the use of technology.
