Wiki

After taking an Information Media class at St. Cloud State University, I am now able to create and use a Wiki. I thought it was cool that a Wiki allows you to add, change, update and revise the information already posted online. It is accessible by anyone and anyone can add their information about the topic. That can be very helpful because the more opinions, the better. It's a way to see it through a number of people's perspective; it's like asking 10 people and getting all their answers at once.

The only downfall to a Wiki is that allows anyone to post their information and sometimes there will be an idiot who feels the need to share their unintelligent, but if people who are at average or above average intelligence can either post the correct information or fix it, it shouldn't be something to worry about.

Although Wiki's are very useful and easy to use websites, I don't think I will let my student use it as a resource if I assign them any type of research paper because it has the potential to be total nonsense. I would assign them to use credible sources such as .org, . edu, or .us.
