Part Two - Building wiki confidence!
Why would you want to understand and build our confidence, skills and knowledge of wikis? Wikis are being increasingly used as online communities of practice. Schools are using them as interactive learning spaces, as classroom web pages, as online portfolios, and a tool for managing differentiated learning or limited computers in the classroom or across the school.

Check out this local wiki from the RELLCO cluster that combines gaming, inquiry, the wider community and learning! http://digikidz.wikispaces.com
