Wiki 10

I've attempted to create a wiki, but wasn't feeling to creative today.

• What did you find interesting about the wiki concept? That multiple people can contribute and read the content of the page. This would be great for collaborative projects.
  
• What types of applications within libraries and schools might work well with a wiki? I've seen a few wiki's used for planning and brainstorming in committees. The use for book reviews is interesting as well.
  
• Many teachers/faculty "ban" Wikipedia as a source for student research. What do you think of the practice of limiting information by format? I understood this for a few reasons, there was a time that the entry for the high school I attended was obviously created by a member of the rival school. There are items that are placed on this site that are not factual, however it can be a great starting point for research. This is often on of the first sites brought up by google, and thus one of the first sites I look at if I'm just searching for a simple answer.
