I think wikis can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom. The first thing that comes to my mind is group work. Learning is more effective and meaningful if students are able to collaborate and work together. However, there is a frequent problem of the workload not always being divided equally. I think a wiki is a great way to solve that problem because each student can access it and add their own information. It's also a great way tool for integrating different subjects by using the "link" section and creating new pages that connect to the original post.
I can definitely see using a wiki with my team as well. It's much easier and quicker to create and distribute agendas, lists, and reminders for an entire team if it is in one central location. It's also a great tool if two teachers take turns providing materials and supplies for different activities or experiments.Using a wiki is much less confusing than emailing, especially if it is an ongoing document.
