Before I started this program through CMU I thought wikis were something that went along with WIKIPEDIA. Now in almost every class in the program I have participated in an individual or class wiki. Wikis are a huge educational technology tool. Wikis are basically a blog that can be edited and collaborated on with as many people as the author allows. For instance my wiki can only be edited by myself and whomever I invite to view it. Our group wikis can be changed and edited by anyone in our specific group. While this is great for educational collaboration sometimes because so many people can change or modify the information presented in the wiki information can become skewed. I really enjoy doing our group essays on the WIKI it is a unique way to collaborate and I wish I had known about such a method during my undergrad group project days. Always learning something new!
