Wikis are collaborative websites that can be edited by a community of users, and can be protected by a password. Wikis are useful when you have a group of people that need to work on a project collaboratively. Internet Forums are better known as message or discussion boards that have threads that people respond to. Forums are useful for posting questions and encouraging discussion around those questions. Within the article, we are given an example of how the author used the “Invention Convention” as a platform for the students to utilize the tools of wikis and forums to complete their work. We are also walked through the steps of creating a wiki/forum for students to use.
