I am new to Wikis and I am already learning there are major benefits to using them in the classroom. I generally searched for articles on Wikis in the classroom and a good general description can be found here.
A great quote from this article reads: "One benefit of wikis that Wales sees is the willingness of kids who use them to try to understand views that may differ from theirs. Wikis, he says, are helping young people develop “writing skills and social skills by learning about group consensus and compromise—all the virtues you need to be a reasonable and productive member of society.”
