Collaboration | Feature Wikis: Pulling It All Together Online Elementary teachers are using wikis in and out of the classroom. The collaborative, teacher-moderated technology allows educators to set up sites quickly and at little or no cost, creating instant learning resources for students.

But wikis aren't without their challenges. By Bridget McCrea10/20/10 David Lindsay discovered wikis in 2005, several years before collaborative Web 2.0 innovations would officially infiltrate the educational space.
