Using Wikis

A Wiki is a website that has a collaboration of people that can add, edit and save to a document online.  You can adjust the setting on the Wiki page so anyone to can contribute or just a certain group of people.  Popular websites such as PBWorks, WikiHow, and Wikipedia are all examples of different Wiki pages.  My current workplace is using PBWorks to share information with different groups of people within our library system.  We use it to check on current programs, work assignments, and assessment statistics.  I can see this as a useful tool in an educational setting for group projects in elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools but teachers would have to teach their students how to create to Wiki page.
