Thing 10 Learn about wikis

While researching the wiki concept I found it very interesting that online readers use wikis as reliable sources of information. I can certainly understand the teacher's viewpoint on banning wikis. The information may be unreliable yet students are most likely to peruse the information and should be taught validation of resources.. The types of applications within libraries and schools that might work well with a wiki would be either colloborated efforts with local organizations for historical purposes, book clubs readers, specialized groups within a school or district, etc. I added an entry on the 23 things on a stick wiki.
