11tools #6: The Wikis

The ever changing world brings new challenges everyday in our lives. The wikis is an indispensable tool for coping with these challenges. Teaching has evolved a great deal; from the oral tradition used one-on-one during apprenticeship era, to the one-to-many oral culture that existed during the common-school era, teachers and children can now enjoy the best of both traditions using the wikis. By means of this tool, networked computers provide a way for students to learn materials collaboratively and at the same time take ownership of the material they are learning.
