Week 7: Thing #17

Why are wikis useful?

Wikis encourage collaborative learning and information sharing.
They increase student engagement and participation.

I can use wikis for any project. It helps the students to collaborate, add/share information almost simultaneously.

Without wikis in the past, we often had to email many drafts to one another to edit information for any school project. This resulted in many drafts and many emails to delete as well. Of course, it adds confusion. In the end, we often wondered which is the final draft. So having a wiki would eliminate all of these problems, and enables students to work more effectively.
