Thing #15

     So, wiki's...I'm pretty fond of them. I have never posted on one, but I love both Wikipedia and HeroesWiki. I know that your not supposed to trust Wikipedia due to the fact that anyone can change the information but I have always found it to be a great way to look up quick information, or as a springboard on where to look for other (more reliable) information. And HeroesWiki...its a wiki for Heroes fans. You know, every character has his/her own page, discussion boards for plot theories and whatnot...
     Also, I couldn't get on the freaking 23things sandbox. You have to login to edit the blasted thing! whelp, there was no information about that on the 23Things page...so ya.
   
      Wiki's though, could be a very useful education tool. I really enjoyed the Westwood Computer Science wiki and personally think that was the best use of a wiki for a school setting. It would be really cool to see something like that included in some of Montgomery county high schools. I also like the Book Lover's wiki. That was a cool way to bring a reading club to everyone, instead of you know meeting at someone's house discussing the book, yata yata. It makes the club a lot more assessable. But the whole raffle ticket's thing I don't think would work unless you were nearer to the actual public library it's based out of.
