__To Learn More About This Tool:__ For a definition of wikis or learn how to **join** this space, simply go to these directions: at Mrs. Badgley's wikispace.

Anyone can create their own wikispace. This is a great way for teachers and students to collaborate to create one really great document. They could write a textbook together while they are learning something. (A tech example might be to create a how to manual for using Alice software. As you find an obstacle in trying to learn something new, each "discoverer" can add to the wikispace to help the other students. Everyone becomes an expert. ||  ||   ||
