I researched a wiki named: Resources for history teachers. I found this wiki through searching through some of the best education wikis on the internet. This wiki actually received second place for "Best educational wiki of the year" in 2011; thus, I was interested to see this wiki and to explore it for myself. When navigating to this particular wiki, I was astonished at the organization and attractiveness of the wiki. This wiki was extremely easy to read and contained much useful information for history teachers.
This wiki included information that is taught in grades 1 through 7 and also included extra topics such as: influential men and women of U.S. History, world history, United States history and economics. Every individual page also listed the Common Core standards for the subjects being presented, which I found to be very helpful as a future educator. Every page also had some type of visual to associate with the topics being presented; therefore, students could develop a mental picture of the specific history topic being presented.
This wiki was indeed fascinating and, in my opinion, deserved the award of one of the best educational wikis on the internet.
