wika-wika-wika-WIKIS!

Using the pages on PBworks really does cut down on the time and stress involved in a typical collaborative project. The convenience of each member of a group being able to edit a page from the comfort of their own computer is unmatched.... it definitely beats trying to find a day and time that is good for everyone to meet and collaborate. Those days are over!

Wiki's provide full control to all members of the group to analyze information on their own and then post or edit information on the collaborative site. If one person makes a typo, another person can proofread and fix it. One student posts a link to a resource, another person can add two more under the same heading to expand on the topic. The creative and collaborative potential is extensive within the Wiki universe, and just waiting to be utilized by educators and learners alike.
