Web Tool #3 Wikis

I chose to explore wikis with my common theme of trying to improve opportunities for collaboration in my class.  I went to google.docs, and discovered that it is going to disappear in a number of months and was being replaced by Google Drive.  Google Drive is like Dropbox or iCloud.  Within Google Drive is the ability to write documents, power points, make graphs, or drawings that can be subsequently shared with whomever you choose and can be downloaded anywhere that Google Drive is downloaded and be added to or edited by anyone you choose.  It could still be great for wikis so multiple students could work on an assignment.  They could research at home and add pictures or info that could be used to present as a speech or report on any topic from this year's elections to writing a report on a particular state.  You can insert videos, pictures, as well into documents or power points.  After seeing this application, I think that with this one tool, you would not need several of the others!
