Wikis

A wiki is a collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone with access to it. There are many wikis available on the net and many offer free services to educators. It is a collaborative authoring tool that allows visitors to easily add, remove, or otherwise edit and change some available content. Wikis can be public or private.



They can be used for:
  • Brainstorming problems.
  • Providing community support.
  • Sharing information with staff, students and the broader education community.
  • Compiling histories, tutorials, policies, interests and hobbies.
