Best education wikis of 2009

I am getting lots of great information about using Web technologies in collaborative learning environments. This article highlights three Edublog award-winning wikis being used in educational settings to enhance learning processes and outcomes.

It seems obvious that the process would greatly impact the outcomes, but I think we have to learn to trust that process to handle the outcome in its most natural and synergistic way. Technology, and particularly Web technology, is often blamed when it is used as a TOOL in a still-broken and archaic PROCESS that makes no sense. Adopting the electric drill as a tool doesn't help your outcome if you still insist on using it as a hammer.

More on that coming soon!
