(WEEK 7) Learn about wikis and discover some innovative ways that educators use them

"A Wiki is a quick-to-build, easy-to-edit website on which all information can be edited, changed, or rewritten by the users or members of the site. It is an incredibly useful tool for collaborative writing, pooling knowledge or exchanging ideas, especially on a subject that changes or needs updating frequently." http://plcmccore.blogspot.com/2006/04/wiki-wiki-wiki.html

Wikis look useful for Year 6&7 - not sure how or if I would use them for younger students. Definitely worth further investigation.
