I explored the library success wiki, the book lovers' wiki, and the sample literary circle wiki. I was especially impressed with the literary wiki because students have the opportunity to hone their technology skills as well as respond in writing about a book they they read in class. I can definitely see the value of this in the public school, where a teacher can grade students according to their understanding of the plot, theme, character, setting, mood, etc., all of which are popular TAKS objectives. A wiki is student centered and interactive.
I can also see from the library success wiki that "vandalism" can occur if someone chooses to provide incorrect information in a wiki. This brings up the question of the the reliability of some wikis, such as Wikipedia. But hopefully internal security measures can be implemented in a school setting to ensure authentic authorship of a wiki post.
