Talking about collaboration...."wikis"


At this point we all know what a blog is and what its features are. Now we have approached another option which main characteristic is the possibility to have various participants writing and providing ideas and knowledge to add value to a "virtual space" and that is a "wiki" . A wiki is different from a blog in the way entries are kept, there is not a chronological arrangement, in fact there isn't a specific arrangement for organizing entries. All participants can edit, review, correct, improve or write entries. Wikis can be used to collaborate with other teachers or for specific tasks with our students.

To create your wiki you have to access pbworks.com and get started! I am already working on my first "wiki" theowlsworkspace.pbworks.com and doing all this stuff for me has been like visiting a new world and an exciting challenge!
