Whatever: This is an opportunity to get some hands-on play time with this thing called wiki. Together with Deirdre Wilmott from IPOL, we can have a go at destroying/enhancing/marvelling or ridiculing Wikipedia before turning to see how this new fangdangled thing (the technology not Wikipedia) might be applicable to teaching or researching in our School.

Here's a clip on Wikis in Plain English. Once you get past the annoying camping analogy you'll get a sense of what a wiki is good for (No. Not that). Group work, vocabulary building and the ability to track the progression and development of ideas come to mind.

Thanks for the invite Marnie -
Great resource. Also, that is the best explanation of the benefits of wikis that I have seen or heard.
Keep it coming!
