Wiki is a collaborative environment where students learn much about how to work with others, how to create,communicate and how to work in a world where the creation of knowledge and information is more and more becoming a group effort. They can also be used to facilitate the dissemination of information, to enable the exchange of ideas and to facilitate group interaction.
The more autonomy teachers give students the better but a teacher must be willing to do this. It means students begin to teach each other and the teacher becomes a facilitator.
Students learn to publish content, develop and use collaborative skills, negotiating to agree on correctness meaning relevance, and more.
First see if something is already written, read critically to find the areas where information is missing or disorganized.
Must take it on as your own because you have the ability to edit and make it better. This is a hugh shift.
Give students editorial control, Have the whole class monitor the content gives students ownership and responsibility.

Remember that we all have the capability to confront exams and depending in our attitude and the level of dedication that we put in our studies we will succeed. So be optimistic and positive.
The world has never grown thanks to the success but to the failure of people and to their effort to improve things. Good Luck!
