Hmmmm, Peculiar this Wiki thing. I didn't know that was how a Wiki worked. Interesting. Now our class is creating a Wiki. I think this is going to be neat. Not only that but now I understand how Wikipedia works. I agree that it could be used well as backup information but not as a main source. But this would be a great tool for classes the specified on certain subjects. In college I took a class on Charles Dickens that was just begging for a Wiki and that was at a time where the Professor should have had an interest to do this. The sum of knowledge of multiple people is better than any one person's individual knowledge. I am always of this firm belief.
Please grant me the serenity to accept the pages that I cannot edit,
The courage to edit the pages I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the blogosphere, I fear no evil. My bloglines are with me. Their updated feeds comfort me. Sorry...I know that was bad. I couldn't resist.
Danielle,
I love your blog!! You are so creative. As far as wikis in general, I a now a huge fan of them. Like you, I learned how wikipedia works from this class. I actually created a class wiki for my exemplar lesson to get an idea of how it could work in the classroom.--As far as the podcast, I have it saved to my flash and Ms. Berry watched it, so I think we're ok.
