So, I viewed all the different sites that showed different uses for and different formats of wikis. When I first started looking at different wikis, I didn't like that there was not a lot of control and that anyone can add items to the wiki. This is why wikipedia has such a bad reputation as a souce in the classroom. But this is becuase students like to use wikis as know alls. However, I do like wikis as sites for planning or keeping in touch. I like Google Sites because the maker can control what and under which subjects people add information. So if you are a club, a departments, or planning a long term project, you can keep in touch and see different upcoming events.
I think if would be nice if my department, even my school as a whole for the faculty, had a wiki so that we could stay more informed and keep each other up to date. I see it being very useful. I also like the idea of using a wiki as a classroom website. I wish that our school website had elements of a wiki where we could allow students to add upcoming events.
I really wish I could just have 1 teacher website that had elements of a blog and a wiki instead of using 3 different sites (blog, wiki, school site).
