A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively create and edit web pages using a web browser.
This means once you create a wiki your students can go on and add things to your page. Then you can go on and comment, remove, etc.

For example you can create a wiki for your classroom and post each subject link for your students to view.
Each link can contain a question of the day, information, information for parents, websites, etc.
Students can go on and answer questions that you have posted, view websites, read additional information about the given topic.

Teachers can create student accounts or have students create their own.
Teachers have to do this in order for the students to edit the web pages.
A teachers can set guidelines such as having a student post their name after they add a comment.
When a student responds to a discussion question their name automatically appears.

What if a student/parent adds something inappropriate?
Teachers can lock parts of their wiki where students/parents can not edit the page.
Teachers can pass out a rules sheet of a wiki page and have parents and students sign off on it.
Teachers will be able to monitor students adding and removing information on the page to prevent confusion.
