THE WEB 2.0 TOOL: WIKI

The wiki web 2.0 tool is a working computer system used on websites that allows users to modify or create your content quickly and easily. There are installable wikis for use in personal desktop or portable computer on a USB stick.

Has a master page requires q is you name, has another series of pages, there are sequential, each page is separate and independent and separate, each time a page is added it must be placed a name. All pages can have a different size, the ratio of the pages are set linking them, each page carries a link to another, establish a network of links. You can have a link to a web page; each page can have a different author. It looks like a web page; the most famous wiki is the wipidepedia. The aim is to create social and encyclopedia, is probably the most popular application that has the wikis. Any user who knows the subject creates another page and relates, in this way an application is built.

I would use this tool when they are group work, so that each group create a wiki with the subject being taught, and the other comrades have the opportunity to comment on this and add related links and consistent with the theme, looking so learning that everyone has with the accuracy of their answers.

The importance of wikis is promoting the necessary information, and one of the main advantages is that you can edit and improve the content published there, facilitating update via text editor. Overall, Wikis are a source of information needed as they are faster than any other means of information. An example is the Wikipedia page that is 5 pages most visited in the world.
