Thing #15: Wikis

Wikis... a source of information that anyone can edit.  Wikipedia probably ranks as the most well known and utilized wiki.  In the APSU 23 things wiki I added my Thing #14 about flowcharts and mind maps by editing the same page that everyone else had edited.  I found that adding links with this interface, for me, wasn't as simple as on a blog.  However, this tool provides numerous possibilities for the education frontier.

Within the context of a classroom I could create a classroom wiki, and for each unit create a sort of information page that was full of errors and as an assignment have each student to find and make at least two corrections.  Another way a classroom wiki could be utilized is to create a wiki page on a topic and have each student contribute an article, link, or some other form of information to create their own collaborative "online text book" for the topic.
