=Collaboration and Crowdsourcing -Harnessing the knowledge of your students=

media type="custom" key="7149563"

idea of "crowdsourcing"-- wisdom of crowds; inquiry, self-creation--creating new information by combining wisdom from different genres, locales, experiences

Wikipedia and wikis are your backbone. Schoolfusion can also be used, but there isn't longevity--each year, new site.

Key is helping students "crowdsource" new data, answers, research, writing, evaluating, etc. The power is in the "wisdom of the group" and what each student has to offer.

Some [|experts] willing to collaborate w/your classroom.
