What is a Wiki?
Main Entry: wiki
Part of Speech: n
Definition: a collaborative Web site set up to allow user editing and adding of content
Etymology: 1995; < Hawaiian wiki wiki quick
(from dictionary.com)

....is a whole new world. Although I have been around blogs for a while, the Wiki is all new to me. I was amazed how Wendy used it as an organisational tool in the first tute - great for those visual learners amongst us! The accessibility for learners before, during and after a lesson is also a huge benefit - almost like an online recount and plan for the course. I am very interested to see what other applications are demonstrated, and that we can transfer to our own classrooms.
