First off I agree with the opening statement of the article that wikis help to increase communication and collaboration among the staff. The first way was to decrease disruptions of instructional time, this is helpful because the teachers and students don't have to spend 10 minutes every day listening to intercom. The second way was making meetings more efficient, this is important because it is too easy for teachers and staff to get unorganized when the kids are all around and things might not go as planned. To be able to have an efficient to the point meeting using a wiki sounds like a great idea. The third way is to collaborate on important documents. This is a great tool to get everyone's opinion on a certain activity or education plan. Sometimes the planning process can get difficult so this is very helpful way to get everything critiqued and help in troubling areas. The fourth way is to enhance professional developement, this could simply be not having all of those sloppy folder file cabinets. Next, share and collaborate on curriculum mapping, this can allow other grades and departments in on what going on making it a great communication tool. My favorite way is to save trees and time, it's important in this day and age to be eco friendly! The last ways, to store all of you lessons and getting started are great little hints on how easy it is to get your oen wiki.
