Thing 9 Web 2.0 Collaboration

Which of these tools is easier for you to use?
Google Docs was easier to use than Zoho Writer

Thing 10 Wiki's

What did you find interesting about the wiki concept?
Ease of adding and editing the Wiki and how we could use this at our Library

What types of applications within libraries and schools might work well with a wiki?
It would work for Class discussions on subject matter, coordinate student event and meetings.
Library use could be Patron reviews of books , coordinate Friends of the Library, poll library patrons for suggestions, coordinate library programing efforts, and more.

Many teachers/faculty "ban" Wikipedia as a source for student research. What do you think of the practice of limiting information by format?
I wouldn't agree on a ban because it is a good jumping off point for research, but it shouldn't be the only thing used. Students should be wary because you don't know if all the information is true.

Which wiki did you edit?
I edited 23 Things on a Stick wiki
