These are some benefits of a wiki in a classroom.
1) Students can learn from each other and they develop higher level of thinking.
2)Through a wiki students can socially connect.(class community)
3)It encourages creativity

These are the ways to create one in a classroom and utilize it.

1)The wiki must have a specific purpose.You have to have some structure.
2) You have to have some content in your wiki so your classmates can add content even if yours is wrong.
3)You have to have concrete examples to whatever you post even if its wrong.

Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki can be used utilized in this class because it could help us as a class to post all of our information and what we've learned.

What are the benifits of using wiki?

Wiki makes it easy for user to add, remove, or edit any information posted on the wiki website. Some of the benigfit are:

-It gives ease in creating web-based content, especially by those who have no technical expertise

-There is also the ability to complete real-time updates of web-based content (without waiting for the technical support team to update your web server files)

-Using wiki you can also enabling the ability to always access current information (eliminating problems by referencing outdated documents or attachments that you previously received)

How can we create and utilize one in this class?

We can create it by using a website like wikispaces. We could then write about our class topics in it and post homework/projects up and then Mr. Porfido can edit our posts, and the class can comment on them.

A benefit of using wiki in the classroom is you can get a higher level of critical thinking.

We could create a wiki and utilize it in the class by picking a topic and having students research the topics.

Wiki’s in the classroom provide opportunities for students to collaborate with other students and share what they have learned. A class wiki can be used for homework or notes so student do not need to bring home their textbook.

A wiki is a type of collaborative website with integrated tools for adding and editing content. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia.org is one popular example, WikiHow.com is another.

we can use a wiki to research notes, homework and projects to help students out with information they don't really know about.
