A Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Ok so when i first read this i was still lost, but here is what i've come up with. Basically wiki is a quicker, easier, faster, and a more user friendly way to create a website/webpage. Also, the other amazing thing about wiki, is that a group can collaborate and use one web page to coordinate trips, and many other things. I am a visual learner and so here i'm going to link a video/website to help you better understand what i cannot wait to begin using and create. http://www.commoncraft.com/video-wikis-plain-english.
For my own personal use i believe that a wiki web page can be utilized in a plethora of ways such as teaching, parties, trips, youth group etc. However, for me the most I will gain from wiki is when i plug it into my classroom curriculum. By using wiki in the classroom, i can not only educate the students with current subjects but also by incorporating the use of technology that we all know is continuously becoming faster and faster!!! Also this (if planned out ant thought about carefully) could also be a phenomenal way to incorporate parent-teacher relationships. If i gave all the parents access to the webpage, they could all give ideas and permission slips to parties, field trips, curriculum etc. I can't wait to use this "wiki." It is so interesting to see the wikis that people have created. They are so much more organized, and way more informative. A wiki compared to expression....there's no contest.
