Thing #16

I explored many library-related wikis. One wiki had programming ideas. It would be great for a group of librarians to contribute to a wiki like this to share programs that had been successful in their libraries. A wiki would also be a great place to conduct a virtual book club. Students could add their thoughts about the book and respond to what others had to say as well. A wiki could be created for teachers to post their "wish lists" for books and supplies. If a teacher had an item on the list, he/she could share it. If not, the librarian could order it. A library could also have a wiki where students posted book reviews. The other students would love getting recommendations from classmates instead of teachers. There are many, many opportunities for using a wiki in the library and school. Plus, they are easy to use and maintain.
