Wikis in Education

I view Wikis as an enhancement to group projects and student collaboration. Wikis empower students and allow for more collaboration. Students can complete a class project or a detailed research project. Wikis provide a common place for the collection of information and allow all members of the group to access the same information at the same time. All members are able to edit and modify the project/assignment at any time.

Teachers can also uses wikis to share information. In looking through county information and school websites I found Murray Hill Middle School's Teacher Tech Wiki. The Wiki is a professional development wiki.
