Wikis!

A wiki is essentially a web page that allows groups of individuals to contribute to the web page(s).  Ward Cunningham is given credit for coining the term wiki, which is Hawaiian for quick-quick.

What makes wikis so powerful is that an individual or groups of individuals can edit, write, and add links and videos in a collaborative manner.  Wikis truly make the learning process democratic. The most famous wiki is Wikipedia, however, wikis can be used for instructional purposes as well. A simple way to use wikis is to create a repository of resources, such as my wiki:  The Resource Depot.

Have you found a favorite wiki that you enjoy using?
