A wiki is an online collaboration tool for anyone and everyone. It allows users to update or add information. In the educational setting, wiki's are frequently being used as a means of openly disseminating information. In all of my formal education, I have been taught that, because wiki is reader-editable, it is not formally recognized as a credible source. Therefore, my initial reaction to this posting was hesitancy. However, after further research, I have a better understanding of the hype of Wiki's. One benefit for teachers is using a Wiki to effectively communicate with parents and students. Using Wiki's reminds me of the generally accepted think-pair-share strategy used in some classrooms.
