Interesting reads about Wiki's. Again, another piece of work I've heard about but haven't paid much attention to. Back in the day the word on the street was not to trust Wikipedia! I think their story and their growth is a pretty cool one. It really shows what you can do with a great imagination!
Using Wiki's in education could be an OK thing! Students could work together on a project and not have to gather and meet. They would be able to collaborate from their own homes and know what was going on. Throw in a Facetime or Skype chat and you might as well all be gathered at the local library! I could really see that being beneficial in my wellness class, which consists of mostly freshman and sophomore students who aren't old enough to drive somewhere to meet.
I think it would be a great way to collaborate as a entire staff or just a single department. With everyone coaching and participating in different committees, it can be difficult to find times to meet. This allows everyone a chance to take part during their own time.
I am currently participating in one that is linked across the state of Wyoming. A coach on our staff is battling cancer and our football staff, along with others at the University of Wyoming, are collaborating together to form a statewide fundraiser to help offset medical costs. Throughout the process, it has been awesome to see it come together and watch people from several different communities work and update the information.
Make it a Great Day!
