Wikis

What did you find interesting about the wiki concept?
I think it a great way for people to collaborate on a project/idea.

What types of applications within libraries and schools might work well with a wiki?
In schools, if a group is working on a project, they could be adding/editing at any time, whether they are together or not.
Again, I think wikis are a great way to collaborate with others.

Many teachers/faculty "ban" Wikipedia as a source for student research. What do you think of the practice of limiting information by format?
I can see why a teacher might be leery of info from Wikipedia, since anyone can add and update. The teacher might suggest the students use some sources in addition to Internet sites as a part of their research.

Which wiki did you edit?
I added a comment to "23 things on a stick".
