Uses for Wikis in classrooms

Wikis have a lot of potential for classroom use. They are already in use when students use them as research tools. What they can also be used for is in the reference section. If it is complete it can serve as another useful to to gain more information about the topic of interest or even help refine the search.

Wikis can also serve as a test of what students know, how to organize their thoughts, information, research and show how well a student can deliver information in an organized well understood manner.

Wikis can also teach collaboration and team work for students. Multiple students working together on creating or even editing a wiki can help students learn to work together.
