Thing #18 Wikis

I've used a wiki with a TLA committee and with our FWISD Library Media Center. It took me a while to understand all the 'layers' and how to post, but I can see its benefits. Most students use it because it's the first resource to pop up when they Google something. I think it's important to show them what Wikipedia is all about; how it was started and why; how to find 'history'; how to find the source; why it's not always valid information; and what makes an 'authoritative source'. Otherwise, they might not ever realize what they are doing.
