My experiences using Wiki's

"Every student in my class gets their own wikispace and are taught how to embed code, widgets, pictures, etc. Our literature circles utilize a wikispace for homework assignments with students being provided a 'menu' of web 2.0 choices for each homework assignment that they can complete and place on their wikispace."

Here are some experiences I can offer from my time using Wiki Spaces with the following benefits, and pitfalls to avoid: > i.e. Microsoft word.
 * There will be students that are more willing to participate than others.
 * There is no extensive computer knowledge required just the general knowledge that comes with using basic programs
 * Wikis really do not require programming or computer language knowledge or experience which is great for the classroom.
 * Wikis add a technological learning curve to the required coursework.
