Wikis could be used for many reasons in the classrooms. One way I could imagine them being used is through jigsawing. Give each group a project or experiment / activity that deals with energy on a wiki. Then allow the students to split up to research the other forms of energy, each adding their new knowledge to the wiki, creating connections between the assignment and what they have learned. I don't know how all of the kinks would manage, and I'm sure there is an easier way to do this, but that's what I have got!
I definitely think that this could be used among the Science SIS'! We have so many things that we collaborate on through email, that our email gets bogged down by all of the "reply to all"s. So, I think this would be a great way for us to collaborate...maybe we just won't delete people's words, but keep it as a running dialogue!
