Advantages of wiki for teachers:

•       It’s a centralized location where all of my resources are available.

                          Binders full of papers to links organized by skill.

                          Students can access resources at any time.

•       Wiki vocab activities as a supplement to the textbook:

                Students can do an activity, get my feedback and revise, all before the next class.  It’s much more efficient & effective than trying to grade hw assignments done in a textbook.

•       It’s collaborative: students can work on something together without being in the same room.  I don’t have to dedicate class time to an activity that can be done outside of class on wiki.

•       Link to another area on your wiki, seizing those teachable moments even when you’re not there.

Advantages of wiki for students:

•       When you take the activity out of the class, the students can work at their own pace.
•       Convenience of asynchronous online collaboration. 
•       It’s motivating to see other students’ work.
•       Students are creating their own portfolio of work each session.
•     Centralized location for resources pertaining to their class – organized by skill, so easy to navigate.
