Thing 15

Wiki?? Well this was the first "Thing" I came across that didn't really work. I tried to edit things within the wiki after I signed up for an account, however it still said I wasn't authorized to make changes. So I just went in and added in my Post 9 into the wiki instead. I think that if working properly this would be a great tool to use within the English department. You could have students edit written work or even create a newspaper where the students could edit one another. I'm sure it would work great in other content areas as well, but that is the first area that came to mind when I was working with the wiki. I think that it is interesting that you can set up who is allowed to edit and who cannot. Overall, I think that it was an interesting concept but I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable enough with the program to use it in class.
