__[|Wikis in Plain English]__
My experience with this Wiki assignment has been positive. The possibilites of what can be done are endless. This is the true definition of a working/living document. I am impressed with the ease of making edits and changes. This is definitely a tool that could be used across the curriculum in various ways.-Bettie Davis

Reflection on the postives and negatives of the wiki

I see on a postive note that the Wiki can be thought of as a combination of a Web site and a Word document. At its simplest, it can be read just like any other web site, with no access privileges necessary, but its real power lies in the fact that groups can collaboratively work on the content of the site using nothing but a standard web browser. I see on a negative note of a wiki is anyone can edit so this may be too open for some applications, for example confidential documentation. However it is possible to regulate user access. Open to SPAM and Vandalism if not managed properly. There are easy ways to restore a page. It requires Internet connectivity to collaborate, but technologies to produce print versions of articles are improving the flexibility of a wiki's structure can mean that information becomes disorganised. As a wiki grows, the community plans and administers the structure collaboratively.

 * Reflection**__

Wikis are a good way for students and teachers to interact with each other using technology. There are real time edits that the teacher can see and use to grade students on the amount of work that was completed. It is also a great tool to use to have all of the resources together. There is no searching needed when you can just click on a link in a wiki to access the information. A negative could be that everyone is not technological savvy so if wikis are introduced in the classroom, a teacher has to make sure that they are knowlegeable enough to show students and students are knowledgeable to learn to navigate wikis. There are going to be some negative points with wikis as with anything else involving technology. I feel that the positive points, however, outweigh the negatives way more.
