Sneaky, sneaky WIKI

A wiki is a website that is easily edited by any of its users. "Wikipedia.com" is probably the best example of one of these. One of the things I found to be very interesting is that there are so many possible uses for a wiki, because it is a knowledge sharing tool. Many wikis are unrestricted, which means you don't even have to be registered to edit content. This can create issues of credibility, and wikipedia.com is often cited as a poor source for school projects. However, there are site management systems that monitor the editing or addition of information, so that's nice. Even though online web pages can be useful sources of info, I'm a strong believer in using a wide variety of information sources on a project. The concept of wikis is nice for administration in schools, because they can set up their own knowledge sharing forums and pass ideas around without having to meet and discuss them.
