Dear Scott, (or whomsoever views this wiki)

In this wiki I have laid out, in the style of a wiki, my arguments for why the Wiki is a valuable and novel Web 2.0 Tool that has a place in 21st century education. I have explored the definition of Wiki as well as what constitutes a Web 2.0 technology or tool. I have presented several case studies of using Wikis in an educational context and have critically examined both the advantages and limitations of the Wiki as an educational tool.
