topic 16 Wikis & Podcasts

I had used wikis only occasionally as a way to get general information on a subject. After working with our own wiki in class, I can see why they might not be too accurate. Depending on who is inivited, the information could be altered from the origional information, whether or not it is correct. They would be a good working tool for a group that would allow information to be added quickly, which would be helpful if your group was scattered in different places. It would also allow different groups in a classroom to work on the same document.
Podcasts were totally new to me. I was amazed at the great variety available and definitely see their value for a teachers and students too as so many topics available. Student access would definitely have to be monitored and controlled, but lots of good stuff.
