Week 7, Thing 16

I have some experience with wikis. I have used the ALA conference wiki and have used a wiki with a group to create a project. This is a great way to accomplish group work virtually and eliminate the need for face to face meetings. Wikis would be an excellent way for students to collaborate on projects within their class or even to create some type of collaborative projects between classes in different states or countries. However, we need to convince the decision-makers of the value of this tool as wikis are often blocked by school as are many web 2.0 technologies.
