It is problem fort he students to come together and work in groups because each of them are in different places, and it is not possible to meet every time when they are required to do a group work by their teachers. Technology can be a solution this, and wikis are simple solutions to it problem as Ferit Kılıçkaya mentioned. Mean of wiki is quick in terms of vocabulary meaning. Its function is to edit pages for a collaborative web space. Wikipedia is a famous sample of wikis. Some specialties of a wiki page are it can be setup easily, content can be changed, not linear, and media can be added. Thanks to PBwiki (http://www.pbwiki.com/), educators and students come together and publish unlimited pages with videos, gadgets, files etc. It is not difficult because the only things that are required are a computer, a browser and internet connection. Before creating a wiki witg PBwiki, the user should log in to the page with required information, and then the page directs the user to create a wiki. By the help of the direction, the user chooses the name of the wiki, chooses its function, chooses its privacy, edits the page, changes it, adds new pages, adds Google gadgets, adds videos/pictures, and makes it private or public. A wiki can be used in language teaching and learning in a very effective way.
