- The Holocaust Wiki Project leads you through a disturbing simulation: http://www.ahistoryteacher.com/~ahistory/apwhreview/index.php?title=Holocaust_Wiki_Project
- PlanetMath is produced by a virtual community that collaborates to create a mathematics encyclopedia as well as books, papers, and forums about mathematical knowledge: http://planetmath.org/
- The ITSopedia wiki was created by GMU graduate students/teachers as part of their efforts to learn about integrating technology into their K-12 classes: ITSopedia.pbwiki.com
The above listed link are to actual wikis that have educational uses. What I found about each of them is that they were informative and to the point with clear and informative choices. Each had a unique perspective and way of informing/teaching the learner or seeker.
The Holocaust Wiki Project is a hypermedia project that allow the user to assume an identity and make choice that can lead to more choices or to an untimely end during Nazi occupied Greece. If reminds a lot of a "choose your own ending" storybook. This wiki is user friendly and straightforward. It was hard to not always the "escape" choice knowing what I know about the Holocaust and surrounding historical events.
PlanetMath, although not at first visually appealing, is helpful to math students and enthusiasts. It has a quick turn around for for those who post questions about a variety of math topics. If I was taking a math course, I would find this wiki to be helpful, not pretty, but useable.
The ITSopedia wiki is a cliff note version of the ITSOLC website, (www.itsolc.gmu.edu). My only criticism is that most of links haven't been edited for two years. I found it to be be a clear and concise source about ITSOLC and several of its concepts. I personally think it should be accessible by all ITSOLC students.
That's my two cents.
