Through my readings from Will Richardson's, "Blogs, Wikis, and Podcasts," I found that wiki comes from the Hawaiian word wiki-wiki, which means "quick." Using wikis can bring on some challenges. Since anyone can publish and edit anything on wikis, instructors need to check for accuracy. Wikis can be effective fostering collaboration. Students have the ability to share information and material with each other. Wikis provide users a central spot to gather students' work, which is essential for group projects. One way I would use wikis in the classroom is by having students post notes for upcoming tests. Each student will have to contribute and provide information to help them study for the test.
