Thing #15 - What in the World is a Wiki?

How might you use a wiki?  What did you find interesting about the wiki concept?
      When exploring through the examples that Dr. Wall posted and the YouTube video, it was pretty interesting how advanced technology really is!  I was pretty impressed by Wiki, although I had never used it personally.  I think it could be beneficial to use in the classroom to even use for simple things.  Like at the beginning of the year when we are gathering supplies, I thought it would be a great resource to use for all the parents so they all still know what supplies are needed for the classroom.  The beauty of that is it could be used throughout the whole school year to inform the parents of other needed essentials throughout the year such as anti-bacterial, tissues, etc.  I also really liked that it was simple to use and understand.  When posting on the the APSU Sandbox, I was amazed on how simple it was to use Wiki in action.  I am very happy with technology when it's simple and easy to use!  I am very intrigued by Wiki and all the ways it can be used.  I am looking forward to using Wiki in my classroom!
