This is the link for the class wiki. I find it easier to use but I still not seeing the benefit of it. I suppose for other classes in the future it will allow them to see what previous students have completed for class. I don't see using this with students. I think that it would be too confusing for 3rd grades to use. Possibly it could be easy enough for middle and high school. I could see dividing up topics in various subjects so the class could have experts to refer to about different topics.
I thought about Wiki's for a while. I think it could be useful to possibly use to have the kids create what they know about a subject in science or social studies. I still find it to be more difficult to use than other ways to do this.
