A Wiki is a great collaboration tool because people can edit work and contribute to the content unlike a website. While this Wiki is public, Wikis can be restricted to certain members. Think of how you might use a Wiki in your own collaboration. You are going to have a professional development project for this course. Could a Wiki be part of how you assess outcomes? Could it be part of the professional development community you create, and be a place to interact between professional development activities? Could you troubleshoot challenges on a Wiki and open this experience to a larger group of educators? Perhaps students and teachers could collaborate together about how to effectively implement schoolwide PBS, or another schoolwide program.

Technology can change education to the very core. Collaboration will be one of the key mechanisms in an effective 21 Century education. Many of these ideas have been floating around in education since Dewey. However, brick and mortar barriers, and old institutional habits have often left reform efforts on the table. Now we have new set of technologies and a new //zietgiest// among our students. The question becomes can we take advantage of this opportunity and create an improved schoolhouse?
