A wiki allows users to collaboratively create and edit many interlinked pages. Wikis can be used for collaboration between colleagues, friends, and students to share and edit work. RSS feeds and programs like iGoogle and Google Reader allow information from blogs, news, and websites to come directly to the user rather than searching for it. Blogs can be used in the classroom to have students write about what they are reading and further develop writing skills.
