#17 Wikis

I have always loved Wikipedia, despite the bad rap it has among some educators, because I am all for collaborative learning rather than top-down authority.
I enjoyed (and wasted much time) looking at the ALA 2006 wiki photos; I copied quite a few of them.
And I know that a collaborative committee wiki will be very helpful for the work of the USBBY 2009 Outstanding International Books Committee, of which I am a member. We can only get together once and have much to decide upon before we actually meet.
Wikis might also work for some KDL committees, though it is often easier for us to meet face-to-face.
