There are many articles that promote the use
of wikis in the classroom. One article from
C&G News in Michigan shows how wikis are
transforming the role that technology plays
in the classroom. Budget issues are one
reason wikis work so well. Also wikis are in
the cloud, meaning they are entirely online
with no software to purchase and install.
Administrators and staff can collaborate
easily without having meetings.
