=**The Book Lover**= A Helpful Wiki Space for Public School Librarians

Wikis can be useful in education because it allows a groups of students to work together online on a project. Each group member can add needed information to the wiki. This is much easier than everyone emailing each other back and forth! Wikis can also be a place for teachers to post videos teaching certain skills or whatever was taught that day in class. Imagine being sick and out for a couple of days and being able to watch your lessons on your teacher's wiki! Now, you won't be so far behind when you return to school. Librarians could have wikis and post certain books for discussion. They could also post a list of books they are wanting to order and students can add or take away from that list so they feel like they have more of a say of what gets put in the library.They could also use it to teach research. The librarian could post topics on different pages and students have to post with a fact about that topic (in their own words) and the website address they got the information from. The ideas seem endless!
