=Reasons to use wiki:=

Collaboration - wikispaces wikis have discussion pages "built-in" making it easy to use pages to address issues and allowing members of a group to add their comments. Example: http://flatclassroomproject.wikispaces.com/

Creating stories - a teacher can start a prompt for a story, allowing each student to add one sentence to keep the story going. This also allows for "Choose your own ending" stories, where students (or teacher) can have several options, each leading to another scenario. Example: http://educationalwikis.wikispaces.com/Classroom+Wikis

Storage space for research or drafts of reports, which can be edited or amended by other members of a group.
