I've read about wikis and how they are used in schools and in the professional world. In schools, wikis provide students with a meaningful way to navigate their way through class content and make cross curricular connections. Students can add links, reflections, files, presentations, audio and video to wikis. In the case of Spanish class, students will be writing in Spanish, editing, generating and discussing concepts and utilizing their language skills to communicate and collaborate with classmates and anyone else permitted to join the wiki. I would love to create a wiki with my friend's students in Honduras.
Professionals are already using wikis to organize and share work and ideas. They are collaborating as they work without having to schedule one specific meeting time. Thus, more people can participate consistently and keep the process moving forward. Using wikis will prepare our students to be stronger communicators in person and online!
