Wiki's

First of all, I have to say how much I love the way that the word "wiki" sounds. To me it brings to mind this colorful, squiggly line that can be reshaped. Anyway, in reality, wiki's are really useful and have so many uses; I have seen them used in a class book discussion. The kids loved being able to use the wiki to share their opions and comment on what other people said. It also opened up discussion for everyone, including those kids that normally wouldn't talk in class. I haven't personally participated in a Wiki group but after watching the podcast of what a wiki is with the camping example, I can think of several applications for a wiki in my own life, especially when camping with a group of friends.
