Wikis

To be honest, I don't personally like Wikis. These very simple web pages are just not that appealing to me. They are essentially a page on the cloud where I can organize files and writing to mimic a website in its simplest format. The best part of them is that I can use them to collaborate with multiple users on a similar topic.

However, since this opportunity to research them is here, I will look into them. I found this Slideshare presentation that explains the advantages to having a Wiki and I would like to share it. It seems to point out some very important factors that I think do work well for us educators of the 21st Century. Perhaps I will be able to overlook its simplistic view.

Did you know that wiki-wiki means "quick" in Hawaiian. I didn't know that. It seems appropriate considering how quick and easy it is to make one!
