Thing 15

Wikipedia is a site that I constantly stress to my students when working on a report NOT to use as a reliable reference because of the freedom to edit them.  I do suggest they are a nice place to start to find links to reputable sites that can be used.  In playing with the APSU 23 Things Sandbox wiki, it gave me the idea of creating my own "sandbox" for my class to illustrate the freedom of changing information.  I think it will be a great hands-on exercise for my students to see this concept in practice.

With that said, I also think that wikis can be a place that I can have students create and post projects to for class.  Each of the projects can then be viewed by their classmates and open discussions can held.  I think that there are some great opportunities that can be had with wikis, however, it is something that I need to investigate a bit further to make sure that there might not be a better tool, such as a blog on Google Drive.
