Thing #16 Wikis

Wikis can be utilized in so many different ways, especially in the education world. A school can use a wiki to keep parents and the community updated, a classroom teacher can use wikis for assignments and note taking, a librarian can use wikis for book clubs......the options are endless! It is a simple tool that can offer great communication between many. The administrator can monitor who edits and can even limit who comments and edits. I can't really see myself using this with my students as an independent exercise as I teach Kindergarten, BUT it would be a great tool for parent communication from our classroom.
