Thing 10 - Wikis

I like the example of using Wikis to organize a "camping trip." It seems very easy for people to edit and save to a wiki versus editing and resending emails. It seems like it would work to use Wikis to collaborate with coworkers on a project this way.

I am one of the people who suggest students don't use Wikipedia as a source for research. I find it too loosely monitored. Students assume that everything on the Internet is fact. With Wikipedia, it is all too easy for them to find incorrect information.

I went onto the 23 Things On a Stick Wiki and added a comment to it. It was extremely easy to edit a Wiki... which brings me back to my previous comment on not using it as a trusted source for research.
