User-Generated Content
User generated content (AKA Consumer Generated Media/User created Content) refers to various kinds of media content, publicly available, that are produced by end-users
All digital media technologies are included, such as question-answer databases, digital video, blogging, podcasting, mobile phone photography and wikis. In addition to these technologies, user generated content may also employ a combination of open source, free software, and flexible licensing or related agreements to further reduce the barriers to collaboration, skill-building and discovery. -Wikipedia, “UGC”

WikisREAL Department workspaces
Horizon wikis
The Horizon Tech Reports are must-reads!
But in the spirit of their work, they have created wikis to keep the material updated & improved
Incorporating WIKIsA wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.
Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites.

Vocabulary “Blog”
Students drew one word out of a hat and completed a word study on it. The posts were sorted by chapter and part of speech.
The result is a comprehensive vocabulary database for the students, and another vocabulary tool for teachers. Two classes worked together to create this glossary. They began to see the benefit of collaborating. By breaking the list down, they were able to get more out of the work.
