One idea of using wikis is a classroom is peer review and editing. Group authoring - Using a wiki "pulls" the group members together to build and edit the document on a wiki page, which strengthens the community within the group, allows group members with overlapping or similar ideas to see and collaboratively build on each other's work. It also allows all group members immediate, equal access to the most recent version of the document.
Other great ideas on how to incorporate wikis can be found on Wiki FarmsA "wiki farm" is a server or a collection of servers that provides wiki hosting, or a group of wikis hosted on such servers. WikipediaWiki farms are particularly useful for teachers who want to use a wiki but lack the technical expertise or support required to host their own wiki.
