A wiki is an online space where people are able to share information with others. They allow for others to contribute to them, however this may be monitored by the creater of the wiki page. Wiki pages can be used in a variety of situations, including within classrooms. Wiki's allow for pages to be added to the original wiki, as well as for other images, links and documents etc. to be embedded within the document. For example, inspiration brainstorms, you tube videos, bitstrips comics etc.
Using within classrooms:
Wiki pages can be incorporated into classrooms in a number of ways, they can be used as blogs, web quests, journals, information pages etc.
They allow for the students to either develop the page themselves as a research assignment, or they can follow and use the wiki page as a guide through lessons.
I think that I will be using wiki pages within my classroom both as a guide to students learning (e.g. webquests) and as a base for students to record and contribute information.
