Welcome to Wikified Schools!

Web 2.0 is not just for the classroom. The use of Web 2.0 tools can increase and improve communication, collaboration, and cooperation across all levels of a school or education organization.

This wiki, which is the companion wiki to the new book Wikified Schools: Using Wikis to Improve Collaboration and Communication in Education, was developed to explore the use of a wiki as a highly effective communication and collaboration tool that enhances the effectiveness of school or district leadership teams. Wiki examples will be explored and users will find a variety of resources including: basic wiki usage syntax, guidelines, and live examples of wikis being used by schools for development of school improvement plans and various other knowledge management purposes.
