Wikis

A Wiki is a web page that is easily editied (this website is a wiki). More than that, you can set it up so anyone can edit it, or just a select few or just the "author". Though you can't get too fancy, you can upload pictures, web links, tables and charts. The power of it is that it is EASY.

[|Wikipedia] has drawn attention (both good and bad) to wikis. Wikipedia is an on-line encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone. The positive side is there is up-to-date information on many topics; the negative, you need to check these facts as they might not be accurate. Wikipedia cannot be used as an only source.
