=Welcome to the Teaching and Learning with Technology Course Wiki!=

Wikis are similar to blogs in that they provide an easy way to publish online with very little technical expertise. Where blogs are usually written by individuals in conversation with each other, wikis are collaborative spaces where everyone works together to write. From just looking at the final product, you usually can’t tell who wrote any given sentence: the content is owned by the community rather than a particular person.

One use of wikis in education is as a place for teachers to collaborate with one another. Do you have a team of teachers in your school or district who need to share ideas on a project? What about collaborating with teachers in different physical locations, maybe even different countries? Wikis can make it easy to work together regardless of time or space.
