3. “A wiki is a space on the Web where you can share work and ideas, pictures and links, videos and media — and anything else you can think of. Wikispaces offer visual editing and various other tools to make sharing all kinds of content as easy for students as it is for their teachers” (Wikispace.com)

4.  1995 - Ward Cunningham invented the Wiki  The idea for the name came from a Hawaiian airport ‘Wiki Wiki shuttle’ (meaning quick shuttle)  2000 - many institutions began using it as their collaborative software  2007- officially became a word in the online Oxford English Dictionary (Wikipedia.org)

5.  It allows group communication by storing data and enabling group members to communicate by adding to or changing the data  A wiki template ensures a consistent layout  Wikipedia has empowered community members to work collaboratively by providing transparency of edits on its content pages.

11.  As noted, wiki has been useful in group collaborative projects, so I have created a Wikispace for our group to give you an idea of what your student’s would be experiencing  As the teacher, I have created the Wiki space and will need your email addresses to invite you into this space  Once you receive your email to join Wiki, you must accept and create a password to be allowed onto the site

12.  Think about the following questions. 1. How would you use Wiki in your setting? 2. Could you see Wiki being a useful teaching/learning tool that you would use on a daily bases? 3. What pros and cons do you anticipate for yourself and your students?
