Have just started looking at some wikis that aren’t “wikipedia”. I have to say, I didn’t realise their potential. I have tended to steer students away from wikipedia, because I fear they will rely on it as their only resource.
After what I have read today, I realise it’s far better than I thought, but I do like the comment I read which says that “it’s a good starting point, but not a good end point”. I think wiki (whether pedia or not) could be a good starting point, and also a way to teach students to cross reference, double check for accuracy etc.
I had a look at some specific library and school wikis, I would like to see some Australian based ones, does anyone know of any??
