I've never participated in a wiki before, only read them. I could see exactly how this would be a great tool in the classroom. Students could work on collaborative projects. In one example, a 10th grade English class made a wiki for a literary circle. Students submit assignments via the wiki and the entire class can see their work about literature. I could do similiar assignments in my classroom and students could build databases of literary terms and share their work.
I want I find the most interesting is the collaborative effort involved. I understand that some people could occasionally put false information on wikis, overall the information is quite helpful. I like when multiple people gather to put their ideas together, so the wiki idea appeals to me.

Where is that literature circle wiki? I have been trying to use them but each person must submit at a different time and that has been a problem. The literature circle sounds great.
