Technology Toolbox: Wiki's - On-line Collaborative Learning Made Easy?

January 10, 2008

One of the hottest topics in K-12 technology is the use of collaboration through online resources. A Wiki is a type of website that allows users to easily add, remove, or otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. Teachers will discuss the value of such a product and walk through the start of their very own online collaboration tool!
