Thing 16 - Wiki Wiki Wikah

Wikis serve a multitude of applications for the education community - academic, social, and administrative to name a few. Academically, the "Curriculum Connections" listed in Library2Play offer a variety of ways teachers can challenge their students to incorporate wiki technology with classroom curriculum to complete assignments. Socially, the Sandbox offers an opportunity for students to share their thoughts and give feedback - similar to blogging. Adminstratively, you can use a wiki to organize materials for a paper. You can save weblinks, quotes, and documents to the wiki and then just go to that particular page as you're writing.
