It is hard to believe, but the final digital literacies column for 2008-2009 was just published in the April 2009 issue of JAAL.

In this column, Michele Knobel and Colin Lankshear discuss the role of wikis in education and in facilitating professional development. 

Abstract: The Internet is becoming an interactive and collaborative experience. Popular social software used to interact with the Internet includes blogs and microblogs for keeping track of things that interest you or for letting others know what you’re up to (www.blogger.com,www.livejournal.com, twitter.com) and sites like Facebook for bringing together online networks, announcement spaces, group members, and interest affinities in one online location (www.facebook.com). In this Digital Literacies column, the authors focus on one of these Web resources: the wiki.
