Thing # 15

I don't mean to be Miss Negative, but I hated this whole Wiki thing.  At first it seemed relatively easy, but then I had trouble figuring out how to upload stuff, and then figuring out where to put it.  Once uploaded though, it was simple to edit the text colors, fonts and so on.  I'm not sure I would ever utilize a wiki in the classroom.  I don't like the idea of people being able to go in and change information and it potentially be wrong.  My entire school life, we have always been told to stay away from Wikipedia because "anyone can write and change information in there."  Therefore, I am always skeptical about it being used for anything school-related.  However, I love the idea of a wiki being used for personal planning, such as the video that showed everybody keeping in touch about a camping trip and organizing the trip that way.  I also liked the book review wiki that was sponsored by Princeton.   Outside of educational purposes, I think wiki is a good idea, but when it comes to education I prefer to rely on the experts and not on people who can go in and randomly change information.
