Thing #16: Wikis

Added comment to sandbox (comment #6 under "Using Wikis")

Wikis are a great way for teachers and students to collaborate. Teachers can modify assignments or syllabi together by putting it on a Wiki site. Also, students or groups of students can gather information and modify it by creating a Wiki site for a project. For example, each year I assign a different disease to a group of students. This year I think I will have each group create a "Disease Wiki" for their assigned disease and each student in the group will contribute information their wiki site without having to physically meet together, which is usually a problem.
