A wiki is the bulletin board of technology. Wikis can be used as class projects where a theme is added to throughout the nine weeks. Students learn about a particular subject and then add facts and figures to their wiki or to a class wiki. It can also be used for small group projects. Students can each work independently and work on their wiki as a group. This is especially great for students who are involved in many after school activities or for students that have to work.
It can also be a great way for teachers to communicate with parents. If a party is coming up and she needs to coordinate who will bring what. Teachers can also use wikis to help students teach each other. Students can research a subject and create wikis. The teacher can then use these wikis to supplement her teaching thereby having greater students interest and investment.
