Wikis....I like these things. I think they're pretty cool, and I think I can definitely create one for my family to use as prep for our big vacation this summer. Having siblings from coast to coast, this seems like a great communication tool for us as we plan our travels and cooking nights and evenings on the beach. I experienced a bit of frustration putting it together, for some reason, and getting my link to the 23 Things wiki, but I have a good partner who helped me out. : ) Thanks, Jennifer!
I see lots of possibilities with wikis in the classroom, particularly for research purposes but also for fun projects. Most kids have the computer access they need at home to make it possible to continue the learning after the school day is over, and it's really cool to hear them leaving their research and talk about how they're going to extend it on their own. Plus, parents can get first-hand looks at what their kids are doing. Neat-0!!!
It is a great educational tool but like you said it's also perfect for thiings like family trips or get togethers!
