Wikis..

To be honest I never heard of the word wiki let alone what they actually were. I have heard of wikopedia and didn't realize it was a form of wiki. I found an article that was really informative, http://www.edutopia.org/using-wikipedia-classroom (Using Wikipedia in the Classroom: A Good Starting Point). I found this article very interesting and informative, one thing that definitely caught my eye was the sentence "It's what all of us skilled educators are all about", there you go, I am slowly coming out of my technology shell and figured this one of the reasons I didn't know about wiki. This form of education can become very useful as it was noted, this can be used to help students with their science fair projects, collaborative textbooks, student profiles, to name a few. Of course this is not the only means in which a student should use all of their information from, however as the article quoted it is a good starting point.
