Wikis

They can't. It is a horrible idea. You never know what people are going to say!
 * How can wiki's be used in education?**

Wikis may be good in determining what is true and what is false. Prehaps it is a great research stepping point. It will also hone student reading ability in discerning what to believe and what not to believe.

Use it as a "simple" web page. You can begin an ongoing conversation with others online. It is kinda like talking on the phone or texting with a cell phone except EVERYONE on this page comment, not just your friends.
 * How do you use them?**

Wikis would be a better place for shared writing unless students get upset because someone changed their wonderful contribution to an ongoing story.

This would really help the teacher because more proficient writers can edit the work of less proficient writers. Maybe the children can learn something from each other.
