It seems to me that for teachers and entrepreneurs, one of the most useful, and the easiest, web2.0 applications is the wiki. Many people who are new to web2.0 aren’t sure what a wiki is. It is an interactive website that can be edited without using HTML, just by using a set of icons, much like you would find in Word or other word-processors.
I have set up a wiki explaining what a wiki is, and why they are so useful: http://wikiwhy.wikispaces.com/ I will be adding more to it over the next few weeks.
For more specific information on what kind of wikis, that is, what brand of wiki application you might want to try out, here’s a slide show I have posted on SlideShare.
