What did you find interesting about the wiki concept? Wikis are interesting because there are many people who are experts on a topic and wikis allow them to all collaborate in one place.
What types of applications within schools and professional organizations might work well with a wiki?Wikis could work for a research project, a forum, a discussion or collection of data.
Many teachers/faculty "ban" Wikipedia as a source for student research. What do you think of the practice of limiting information by format? I think that its good because it forces students to research further down the rabbit hole than just the first google response. I use wikipedia as a starting point for research. By looking at the citations at the end of the place, as well as reading the overview provided, it helps focus my attention.
