Wiki

1. I think the most interesting thing about the wiki concept is how accessible it is. Since anyone is allowed to edit it, wiki can draw upon information from many people in many different places. It is not limited to just the owner of the site or a few professionals. I also like that it specifically says what areas it needs people to add information to, and is constantly receiving more information.

2. I don't think wiki should be used as a primary source when writing papers. I do however think that it is a good starting place, and can point students in the right direction for research papers. Wiki also gives a good overview/background information of topics. But because "anyone" can add their input to wiki, it shouldn't be drawn upon for actual information.

3. I'll get back to this later.
