Wikis: Fostering teacher collaboration
Developed by: Aileen Socarras Machado,
M.S. with material from PBworks
Make a free wiki as easily as a
peanut butter sandwich.
A wiki is an easy-to-use
free web page that multiple
people can edit.
Wiki means Quick in Hawaiian
In classrooms, a wiki is a free
tool that empowers every
teacher to collaborate and every student to
participate in group projects. It is a forum for
discussing, brainstorming, and organizing
ideas and projects.
