Thing #15~Amy Rutledge

Thing #15 is: "What in the world is a Wiki?" I have always been told not to use wiki for academic research because it is not "reliable". I am learning that it is a great place to go for other people's thoughts, ideas, or perspectives. Looking through some of the resources, I found some very interesting links. I know the one from Book Lover's Wiki was an old link, but it was actually pretty neat. I think their idea of having a wiki book club was a great idea. I tried to figure out how to edit on the APSU 23 Things sandbox, but I was completely lost! I think for the most part the wiki concept is good. I would probably be likely to use the same concept as the Book Lover's group for a classroom wiki page. That way students could see what other students were reading and what each student thought about the books.
