= __Why use a wiki?__ = I originally was introduced to the concept of Wiki's at the Learning 2.0 conference in Shanghai, China. From there a Grade 5 Educator took to using one with his class and proved the collaboration and independent motivation shown by his students meant Wiki's have powerful potential. I realized how easy they were to use in both collaborative learning and instruction and thus began the SCIS Modular Technology Wiki.

I've found them useful for the following: > **
 * a facility for students to **post** and **discuss** their creations
 * a medium for **collaboration** - teachers, students, ** learners **
 * ** exploration
 * a place to bring all the links together (instructions, activities, visuals, blogs etc)
 * a **text** that cannot be lost (unless we get 'blocked'!)
 * saving paper!

and of course: Connections


 * Wikis are basically a tool that allows students to connect with each other, follow their interests and //CREATE//!**
