Welcome to the Wiki Training


Wikis are making the biggest impression on the faculty who attend the workshops I've been leading. I think part of the attraction is the collaborative nature of wikis and the potential of engaging students.

This screen snapshot is from a wiki created by 5th graders and it is actually quite fabulous! Knowing that the students in our future can work together to create projects like this should motivate us into action.
