As librarians we are in a profession focused on preparing students for the future. So we need to keep learning the new technology so we teach them how to use these tools safely and effectively. Most of these tools allow students to create and build knowledge.
A Wiki is a tool that students turn to when they are looking up facts . First we need to teach them that Wiki's are not the most reliable source of accurate information.
However use Wikis as a tool when you want several students to work together to create / provide accurate information at the same time . Students can work together to create and discuss. The Wiki format is more interactive than a blog, and students really can get involved with their learning and building knowledge.
There are tutorials on www.Wikispaces.com
