I have used Wikipedia for a long time. At the beginning, I don't really know that everybody can add and edit Wiki, which may make the information unreliable. However, I still think it is a good idea to share the knowledge and collaborate online. I looked some web sites of schools and libraries using Wiki, for example, Westwood Schools and I was impressed how they have been using Wiki in teaching. The current site has classes for 8th, 9th, and 10th grade. It has a well organized calendar which is updated with current event. I'd like to try this in my ESL reading class some time. I believe my students will like it since most of them are active learners and I am sure they will enjoy writing their own Wiki and share their knowledge with others.
