Thing #16

Wiki, wiki, wiki! While some people love to hate Wikipedia, wikis are actually great resources! Wikis can be used for numerous curricular activities such as professional development amongst peers, sharing information with co-workers or other librarians in the same district or across the country, or to set up a useful site for students about to embark on research. Wikis are incredibly interactive, and that's why they are so useful for the abovementioned activities. Professionals can add/edit/delete information as it becomes relevant or outdated on a professional blog. Students can take ownership in their research and add comments and useful sites they've found during the research process.
