Wiki in the Classroom

I found the article on Wikis in the classroom to be a great article. Judging from the responses that I received that many of fellow classmates seemed willing to try to integrate Wikis in their classroom setting. This is a great first small and simple step start to integrating technology in the classroom.
The following is a summary to the article entitled:

A Wiki for Classroom Writing.

Writing for many students can be a means of communication that is personal, thoughtful and insightful process, which allows students to explore who they are as individual and as a person.
The challenge that teachers face is takes this form of interpersonal communication and turn into collaborative pursuit that allows students to express their ideas, opinions and points of view in medium that offers endless possibilities to mature as a writer and a content producer. Authors Brian Morgan and Richard Smith provide a general overview of what is a wiki and explains the difference between a wiki and blog.
The authors provides teachers with easy instructional tips on how incorporating a wiki into the writing process. In addition, the authors offer suggestions on the role of teacher as the facilitator, co-producer or conductor of the wiki. The key points are that wikis offer student writer many opportunities to engage in creating content and to collaborate with their fellow classmate and teachers to produce content that is meaningful and technology rich.
