I didn't know that wiki is the short form of the Hawaiian word wiki-wiki, which means quick.
Interesting..a quick and easy way to publish. I like the quote from the founder of Wikipedia."Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we are doing." When you look at it like that the idea is quite overwhelming. Wow..our students have sooo much information at their fingertips. Our job as teachers will eventually become a informed guide to help our students make their way through all of the info out there. In the mean time, how do I make my first graders understand wikis???

I asked the same question about second graders. I am not really sure how to incorporate the use of Wikis in the classroom. I think some students would be able to understand the use and others would have no clue. What are some ideas that you have in mind? How would you use wikis in your classroom?
