Chapter 4: Wikis Easy Collaboration for All

Chapter 4 talks about a great tool for collaboration, Wikipedia. This tool can be amazing and can be a great way for teachers and students to collaborate. According to the book, "Everyone together is smarter than anyone alone." Teaching students to use Wikipedia is important because they are already using it in their research. This tool can also be a way for our students to become better learners. However, there can be a challenge for schools to use Wikipedia. Teachers need to be aware and check how accurate the information is presented. In my own experience, I have seen students use Wikipedia to look up information that is needed for their projects. It has become a great tool in my classroom!
