Throughout my research and discovery, I have found some ways that schools and libraries are using wikis. A wiki allows people to view and edit the information they see even if they are not a member of this site. Growing up in school I always used Wikipedia to get information about a particular subject. It wasn't until I got older that my teachers told us that the information there was not 100% credible. I never understood why until I learned that I myself could change the information on there if I wanted to.
I found some neat wikis, one of which is teacherlibrarian. This is a wiki which allows any viewer to look at different teaching material and ideas. It has lists of credible books for elementary students as well as high school students. This is a good source for teachers to look for ways to enhance their teaching experience.
BHS English 10 is a wiki that was created by a teacher for a classroom. This is a great idea to get students involved in their school work. This one in particular is a book talk. I think this is a great idea to get students more interested and involved in the books they are reading in school. It could ultimately be the reason a student who normally doesn't comprehend what they are reading to excelling in a class because they have that initiative.
In the Apsu23Thingswiki students can edit the content added to this page. It is pretty cool to see how many people can edit the same page from anywhere they please. You can do just about as much with the posts on there as you can creating this blog post. You can change the font, size, color, add pictures, and add links. It is a great way to share information with others.
