    Wikis

    A wiki is a webpage in which users communicate and share information. Wiki pages allow students to
    collaborate with others, develop communication and teamwork skills, build learning connections, and
    increase understanding of concepts. Teachers can use wiki pages for collaboration, RSS feeds, calendar
    integration, posting assignments, sharing information, and much more.

    Students and teachers can login to wiki pages and add or edit content - - changes should be made for
    improving content and not vandalizing the work of another. Teachers can set limits on can and cannot be
    modified within the classroom wiki.
