The document discusses the rise of wikis and their potential impact on education. It notes that wikis allow for anytime/anywhere content production, connection, and collaboration. Wikis empower all users to have a voice and connect with others to share and work together. They meet students' intrinsic needs to work in responsive information environments, communicate, share experiences, ask questions, and form online communities where they can safely make mistakes with an audience. The document outlines how wikis can be used for information sharing, commentary, discussion, and collaboration between students and teachers. It welcomes the reader to participate on the wiki page.

2. ARE YOU READY FOR A
REVOLUTION?
It is not "can any of us imagine
better?" but, "can we all do
better?" The dogmas of the
quiet past, are inadequate to
the stormy present. The
occasion is piled high with
dif鍖culty, and we must rise --
with the occasion. As our case
is new, so we must think anew,
and act anew. We must
disenthrall ourselves, and then
we shall save our country.
Abraham Lincoln, 1862
