Using Wiki in Education

This article expounds the benefits of using wiki in the classroom. A hybrid of a website and a Word document; it has the readability and ease of editing that a Word document had but great flexibility and collaborative capabilities as a website. Many teachers are using wiki’s capabilities for creating simple websites, projects with peer review, group authoring, data collection and presentations.

I like the idea of using wiki’s in a classroom. Considering the hectic and varied schedules of students, I feel that it would be great as a forum for group projects and collaborations. It would give group members flexibility of time and space.
