I like the idea of Wiki's as a collaborative project and would love to see them in place of PowerPoints, or posters (ahhhhh, no more poster projects!!!!) I like the idea of utilizing them across the curriculum with basic math concepts, and having students explain math concepts in terms other students might understand vs. a teacher trying to explain the same topic.
I like the idea of collaborative work in a space that can be shared and used for future students. When a student creates a PowerPoint or a poster, what happens to it when they are done showing off their work? It gets saved in their folder or probably thrown away, there is no use to future students, with a wiki, other students can move forward on that project or learn from previous students efforts.
It definitely allows for a digital portfolio of student work.
