Participants will see how schools are using wikis to collaborate, share, organize, and publish online information with peers, students, and parents. This presentation will demonstrate the steps in creating a wiki, organizing it, and using it as a valuable tool for any school. Also addressed will be the ease in finding curricular online content that supports the Iowa Core Curriculum for a school wiki. Resources are available on a wiki created for this session.
