Wikis

I am very proud of myself for being able to participate in a wiki with my comments! I agree with Tony's concern about who/what is/are the gatekeepers and with Erica in cautioning my students about the reliability/authority of Wikipedia - I do not accept Wikipedia as a 'citable' source in any paper. Guess the "openness" of the wiki is a bit unsettling. Google docs do allow limitations on access - the paranoid portion of my cranium is concerned that I have no "wall against my back" with a wiki. At this time, I am not certain how I could use wikis in my writing courses
