After reading this chapter on Wikis, I feel that I use it daily. For my future classroom, depending on the grade that I will be teaching, I would use it. It's an interactive tool for the students, teachers and parents to communicate and post any kind of news in the classroom. If I was to teach younger students, I would post my daily or weekly newsletters to update the parents as to what we are doing in class. This is good because parents can communicate with me if needed. If I was to teach intermediate elementary, I would have wikis to have the students comment or change things to fit their needs or their thinking. Wikis is a very good tool to use in the classroom, but I have to make sure that I seek permission from parents before doing so.
I am amazed at how fast these wikis grow over very little time. In such little time, many people have edited or added information to express their comments or concern or to make information on the wiki more accurate. This is such a wonderful tool to use overall, in and out of the classroom.
