Teaching using Smallest Federated Wiki is in large part the task of leading a Creative Writing Class, or more accurately a Collaborative Creative Writing Class.
To inspire students a Teacher can pick an interesting text, or recent piece of news related to the subject matter. Ideally this would be related to a new practical project the Teacher is creating together with the group.
This inevitably involves writing new wiki-pages. These may be created from structured templates, and rewritten by cloning and then adapting previous Learning Objects, but it will rarely be the case that simple blind forking will meet the needs of the particular group, or project being considered.
As a consequence it is a Teachers role to lead the process of Learning by Writing. Here we see a new form of Citizen Dialogue, which while related to blogging, is closer to the type of teaching and Group Learning we find in Study Circles.
