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.
