Well, after completing this exercise I was amazed at the ease and simplicity of editing a wiki. I was most interested in the fact that anyone, anywhere, doing anything can post or edit things on the internet that could be true or false if it is open or if they have permission. Along with this, I was also interested at how this concept can positively evolve learning because of the constant changing pace. I could easily use a wiki in a classroom through art history. I could teach a lesson say on post-impressionism and have the students write their thoughts within the wiki on post-impressionism. Then I could ask each of them to tell me what modern art was going to deal with and place it in the classroom wiki. Whenever I have completed the lesson we as a class can go in and edit out what information ended up not really happening within the modern art period. This way the students can use technology and learn about a wiki, and also learn how not everything on the internet is true because of the ease of writing and editing anything.
