I think as everithing else that there is a time and place for everything.  The wiki, also has a time and place.  In a classroom setting teachers and students can utilize wikis when there are assignments to do.  Teachers can post information where students can read and comment.  Students can  also put their views on a page and haveother students correct information.  A discussion on a specific topic could be done on the wikis where students can give their honest views.

Engaging in a wiki with my collegues was exciting, well I was excited when I heard aboutthe wikis and that I was going to get a first hand experience with one.  i did not know it was so challenging and time consuming.  I still do not get the gist of it to this day.  Firstly,  setting up the wiki was difficult, then inviting other members to it.  Lastly, I had difficulty actually getting o and understanding fully without getting the assistance of the other group members.
As I said before it is still a challenge with this whole new idea, but my group members cooperated with eac other and it was easier to get the work done.
I am not totally sure how the piece can be improved since I am still getting familiar with it.  I guessit could be improved if I get more learnt about wikis.

Honestly, I do not see me in the classroom with wikis right now.  I do know however that I will try my hardest to get mre kniowledgeable at it and then maybe then I would utilize it in my classroom.
