I have to say honestly that wiki's are not my favorite thing. I think what makes me super nervous is that people can change what I say into something else. I can definitely see how they can be used effectively especially in group projects and I loved the San Antonio wiki example! I think every city should do a visitors guide and allow people to add their experiences. It would make traveling so much better. Of course there would be a ton of opinions and you would have to wade through to find what's good and what's not but a well policed site would do very well. I can definitely see using a wiki for a classroom project or even a study guide for certain skills. Kids could ask questions and get answers right there on the wiki from other students and from teachers. This class has definitely opened my eyes to things I thought were "bad". There are good uses for wiki's and who knows, maybe one day I will break down and start one for my class. Stranger things have happened!
