In this activity, students will be instructed to collectively
participate in the writing of a wiki on the topic of multicellular organisms.
This will assist in group work skills as well as providing a source for study
notes at the end of the topic which each student is able to use. The teacher
will begin the wiki allowing students to add and edit information. This
activity will assist in student engagement as it will help students share the
load of the task while benefiting each of them in its completion. Students can
add to the wiki either at home or in class and must provide adequate references
for their statements. Students can have an online discussion about DNA cloning
and stem cells.
