Wiki is all knowing

Wiki's, pretty cool. Although most people I talk to have few good things to say about them in terms of their reliability and accuracy, I have learned that they seem to be pretty spot on, accurate, and reliable. Last week I added to my first wiki concerning crickets. It felt pretty cool adding to the web. I think kids will feel the same way. I look forward to using wiki's in my science and social studies classes. I am a little unsure of how to get them going and where to begin, but looking forward to getting it going. Although quite limited, my experience with wiki's have been very positive and beneficial. Regardless of what you look up on the net, it seems there is a related wiki to assist in gaining information. It is fascinating that there seems to be some information on about anything out there. Fascinating.

  1. Crickets? Do tell more! Are you a closet entomologist?

  2. No, but crickets are in our 2nd grade curriculum. Thought I would take a risk and add a little information. It was so exciting.
