Week 7 Thing 16 & 17

I am not sure how I feel about wikis...is it my personal misconception that 'someone else' should have ownership and or authority or is it the reality of vandalism and malicious misuse? Is it commonsense or is it paranoia? How long is a piece of string?

I do like the idea of an online local paper or in-house newsletter a la wiki. Perhaps that would be a more 'sensible' usage - ie a smaller audience & minimal mischief. Then again, why not think BIG and hang the consequences. Let's just go for it, and see what happens, BUT if the answer really matters, keep that Funk and Wagnall's handy.

Personally, I'm just glad (relieved?) to have added my favourite blog to the Learning 2.0 Sandbox wiki at last.
