Why+a+wiki?

=Why Wikis?= ==Today's students are increasingly involved in online activity, creating their own content, and participating in conversations. "Content creation by teenagers continues to grow, with 64% of online teenagers ages 12 to 17 engaging in at least one type of content creation, up from 57% of online teens in 2004" (Lenhart). According to a University of Minnesota study from June 2008, "students who use social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, demonstrate creativity, learn technology and communication skills and come into contact with diverse viewpoints" (Boule). As educators, we can take advantage of teens' online interests and skills and focus them on the educational aspects of content creation through the use of wikis.== media type="custom" key="2815479" "A Vision of K-12 Students Today" by B.J.
