I thought that Wikihow was great. It allows you to look up ways to figure out how to do pretty much anything, and it lets you add tips to help others. The first wiki I thought of creating was one for the 6th grade math department. This year we have not been able to get together to modify the common assessments as often as needed. I think this caused frustrations between people because if you couldn't go to the one meeting it felt as though your voice was not being heard. A wiki would allow the group of teachers to put the common assessments on a wiki and edit them right there, or just discuss the changes that need to be made without a hundred e-mails.
On a smaller scale I would like to create a wiki that my teaching partner and I can use to edit worksheets, study guides, tests and quizzes on a more regular basis. If all of these things are on our wiki we can access them anywhere and do not have multiple copies all over the place. In addition if a computer crashes there will always be a "backup" on the Internet.
The problem I'm unsure about is will I be able to put on there exponents, tables, graphs etc? Will I be able to create a bunch of links from the first page to all the documents that need to be on there? How long will this take and will it be easy? I believe it's worth it and I'm going to definitely consider giving it a try.
