How to Use Wikis in the Classroom

 A wiki is a page that has resources, material, and other information that is collected by many people. Wikis are a way for people to collaborate and contribute to the topic being discussed. This allows for a social learning environment. Being able to collaborate allows many perspectives and ideas to be shared. Whether it is in the classroom or on your own, wikis build a community that have a common goal or topic. It is also an easy way to actively participate in resources and ideas in an engaging way.
