Ironically, this is my first class in my college career that has asked me to do anything on Wiki. I also happen to agree with Dr. Wall that Wiki can be a great tool for researching and learning, however I understand the huge implications of inaccurate information. This is where Wiki can be problematic. I did enjoy uploading my Thing 8 on to the 23 things wiki wall for everyone to enjoy. It's not so much my photography session I'm sharing so much as the map of where they were taken. Someone in Clarksville may want to know where that nifty mid-century style train is located that I am leaning against. Certain things are not found every day.
To go further, on Wiki I can even create a new wikispaces like the link that Dr. Wall had as an example in Thing 15. There could be a wikispaces specifically for downtown Clarksville, and part of the "Things To Do" area could show the nifty red train on tenth street.
When used wisely, Wiki is a great tool. It can be fun, it can be helpful, and it can even be edited and personalized. The important key with any wiki usage is simply to make sure the information is accurate.
