I took some time to explore the wiki links. I particularly liked the teacherlibrarianwiki. http://teacherlibrarianwiki.pbworks.com/w/page/19823570/FrontPage
If I were to describe a wiki in my own words, I would say it's a collaborative and informative blog that is authored by everyone! I think it could be very valuable in education as indicated in the wiki mentioned above. Teachers could combine ideas or spin off of other ideas written about. Students could get together with a subject and each new link could delve further into it. It seems to me that students are more confident participating in online interaction then in a classroom, at least academically. I think wikis would be great for an active conversation about literature, history, or any other subject.
