What's a wiki?Wikis are collaborative websites that encourage others to collaborate and work with others in a community like atmosphere. One great factor about a wiki is its ease in which pages can be updated and changed by the general public. Wikis are used for personal use, business use, or school use. I feel that if you do not have a class website then a wiki is a good place to start. You could have direct communication with your students, have the ability to upload documents, and be accessible to your students and parents at any time. Wikis are growing in popularity and should be considered an ideal tool to use within the classroom.
To learn more about wikis watch the video created by Common Craft called "Wikis in Plain English". I have also linked this sentence to navigate to my wiki called "English Carn" that was created with the free program Wikispaces. There isn't much on the site, but maybe it will give you ideas about how to create one for your classroom.
