A. Wikis are perfect for collaborative work. They allow multiple people to edit and save a document, the document is saved on the web and can be retrieved from there as well.
B. I like the wiki where kids from different hemispheres discuss the differences and similarities between kids from the US and New Zeeland, this is a great way to share your ideas with a classroom halfway around the world.
C. The one big question I have to find out about Wikis is,"can I track who made what changes to a document and when?" Once I find that out I think I will have something. I will keep digging to see how you do that before I put my class to task with a wiki project.
You'll learn how to track changes in the next Thing. In Wikispaces, you'll see a History tab - the details hide there.
