Like blogs, wikis are Web 2.0 tools that have tremendous educational potential. A blog usually has one main person who posts and other people become involved in the blog by making comments. A wiki, on the other hand, is usually a collaborative piece. The participants in a wiki usually have equal access to the site and as a result, they have equal opportunities to get involved in its creation. Wikis are great when students work on group projects. They are not, however, limited to collaborative work. Because the history of a wiki can be viewed, they allow instructors to monitor the changes students make and when they make them. This could be useful for reviewing how an individual student moves through the writing process. If you would like to learn more about wikis and how they can be used with students, please see a presentation that I made on this topic: Wikis.
