Thing 32: Wikis

Creating a wiki at our Metronet meeting yesterday was a great exercise, and great fun. It's so easy to see applications for staff use and for classroom work. At one point, when we were stealing the lock from another group, it was almost like a game! I could well imagine a computer lab full of students working on a class wiki - which would be relevant for not only their class but for future classes. The collaborative, ongoing nature of a wiki is far different from a paper written by one student for an audience of one teacher.
