Flexible grouping and wikis
Wikis allow students to come together and share their wealth of knowledge. Students in groups collaborate best when they divide and share tasks and accept equal responsiblity for the final project. Ideas about ways that flexible groups can be most successful are located on my teacher blog on the "Flexible grouping at the high school level" post at http://www.teachertoteacherblog.blogspot.com/.
