Wikis are OK. All the cons and pros are right there in the instructional slideshow. I would like to see how they are being used in education. What I have seen in quickly glancing through examples, doesn't look all that revolutionary from the result end. On the other hand, the idea that web creating is so easy and intuitive is very encouraging. I have already started a couple wikis that I would like to use in our homeschooling, but my kids are too young to set them completely loose in the www. I was thinking about going through 13 moons series by Jean Craighead George and having a page for each "moon," i.e. each animal, and ask the kids to add interesting facts about each animal. We'll see how it works.
