A wiki is something that can have multiple uses in a classroom setting.  It can be a very effective tool for letting students create their own content on a variety of topics.  A wiki is static, i.e. it has to be set up on a server.  The good news is that it is fairly easy to set up and some good wiki server software is available under the Gnu license.
