Thing #16

Need more practice with wikis. I think I would find them most helpful with committees I serve on. This would be a great way to collaborate without having a face to face meeting. Invariably half the members can't make it for one reason or another. Everyone could contribute and perhaps, feel like stakeholders in any decisions that are made. Students could be asked to list one or two of their best web sources before a research project begins. Students could vote on their five favorites. This should really spark interest for the assignment. There are also lots of potential teachable moments here. Why is one source more appropriate for the task than another, is the info current, etc.? I worry about the few mavericks who would delete all the info and replace it goodness knows what.
