Thing 8 | Wikis

A wiki is a collaborative website and authoring tool that allows users to easily add, remove and edit content.  I use wikis all the time when writing in my personal blog. I find them very end-user friendly. I found a great blogspot webstie that shares some Top 10 Sites for creating a WIKI.

Below are so more great wikis to explore:
Library wikis
SJCPL Subject Guides – a pathfinder wiki developed by the St. Joseph County Public Library system
Book Lovers Wiki - developed by the Princeton Public Library
Library Success: A best practices wiki
ALA 2006 New Orleans wiki – an example of a wiki created to support a specific event
The Bull Run Library wiki - a public library wiki and also a Learning 2.0 participant

Teaching wikis
For Teachers New to Wikis gives application idea for using wikis with students
Educator Wikis after you scroll below the ads you will see lots of teacher blogs.
Teacher Wikis

Exploration of wikis for future help for the teaching profession:

• I think Wikis are a great emergent web 2.0 tool for our learners today. 
• Wikis can create collaborative and cooperative paradigms for teachers and students peers.
• Cooperative learning makes great impact and powerful meaning when it involves a community. Wiki tools push for community.
• As a teacher, you can use wikis to develop research projects or keep a track or paper trail of their work. 
• Brainstorming & editing
• Presentation Content.

I enjoyed the Book lovers & Educator Wikis. It helps to learn from others, see what is progressing for them and how you can share or improve on what you see and know. Everyone brings forth a new eye and fresh look to ideas and projects. Sharing them or viewing through a wiki is a pretty cool e-learning invention.
