I visited the sandbox and copied and pasted my comment from my blog about how wikis could be used in place of e-mail for teacher collaboration. It will be interesting to check back in a couple of weeks to see if my entry is still there. It was very easy to add to the wiki.
Right now, the only way I can think of using a wiki at school would be for a book discussion or research collaboration between librarian and teachers for research lessons. I am not yet sold on having the kids use them for doing their research because anyone can add to them and the information might not be valid or there could be inappropriate language in the content. I do think kids would love collaborating in a writing project together with a wiki. I can see them wanting to write just for the joy of getting their work read by others.

I think it would be very interesting to see if teachers would get involved with collaboration on a wiki. Getting them to try is the challenge.If tehy actually do give it a try like we are , they might like it!
