I have always heard negative things about wikis and that we shouldn't use them in class, so I was very interested to find out the educational uses for wikis and that they don't seem to have such a negative connotation anymore!
I had a lot of trouble with the apsu sandbox. I could not figure out how to work it or where to go to edit anything. :(
Wikis would be great in the classroom because any one can edit anything, and you can keep track of who edits what. This is great because you can make a lesson out of it. For example, if you were teaching a history lesson, you could write a story about a historical figure or event, but make all the information about it completely wrong and untrue. You could then have your students read the story, and have to change one thing they read that they saw as wrong. It's great because then you ccan see who has been paying attention and who knows what is right or wrong, as well as knowing who might need more help.
