Abstract

There are many obstacles teachers face, including having to meet the needs of the 21st century learner. This generation of digital natives relies heavily on the use of technology. Using Web 2.0 sites, such as wikis, is one way to engage these students. This project seeks to utilize wikis to publish and discuss book reviews by students, instead of the traditional pen and paper reports. By effectively using these sites, students actively learn, develop their writing skills, hone digital literacy, and work collaboratively.
