//What is a wiki? What does it do?//
 * A wiki is a space for collaboration that's able to house a lot of works in progress and final drafts. It's an ultimate publication place. What's beneficial about the wiki is that it allows students a forum to receive constant and immediate feedback from their peers and from you on an ongoing basis.
 * And it's eco-friendly--students are able to store pages and organize documents in folders and are able to exchange all multi-media types through uploading and downloading files. They don't have worry about what Microsoft Word program they have at home and whether or not it compatible to the school's--they can simply access the Wiki and jump right in--even when they're absent=)

//List some possible ways that you might be able to use a wiki in your classroom.//
 * When students are reading choice novels, students can create pages for their novels and post insights, questions, inferences, etc.
 * When students are conducting research, they can use the wiki as organizational, drafting, and editing tool.
 * When students are working on a project where they want to upload a wide variety of media files, they can create a page on the wiki to publish their project.
