Technology Focus, Pedagogy, Method of Dissemination Wikis are a communication tool that can be used in any grade level because it allows students to connect with students in other districts, cities, state and countries. It allows for that real world connection that is so important in today’s changing world. It also allows for collaboration by educators or students in which people can create and edit documents. This allows everyone to take ownership of the documents. Moreover, it provides authenticity in assignments that is not always present in teacher centered classrooms by allowing students to be excited, proud and confident in the work that they are posting for others to view. Using Wikis is also a great tool to use to differentiate assignments and instruction in the classroom, which sometimes proves to be a difficult task. Additionally, Wiki’s are a great place to post valuable online resources which will enhance the learning of others.
