Wikis bring powerful yet accessible collaboration to every aspect of the learning experience. Some of the ways wikis are being used in education today include: Class Websites - Teachers post classroom guidelines, notices, and assignments on their wiki. Parents and absent students can keep track of classroom work and homework deadlines. Collaborative Projects - Students work with other students in their class or students in another country to do research and learn. Using text, images, videos and other media, they can build an online resource about any topic. Peer Assessments - Students learn from classmates as they peer-review one another's work. E-Portfolios - Students get their own private wiki to post their writing and work. Educators can then review it to help each student develop. Professional Development - Teachers support their learning by sharing curricula, lesson plans, labs, and other resources with their colleagues. Parental Engagement - Parents keep up to date on the latest classroom and school projects, plan upcoming events, and organize their own activities.
