Chapter 4

I understand ‘collaboration’ in the context of wikis much more so than with Blogs. [p59.]

I agree that Wikipedia can -- almost always is -- the starting point for research, but it should be the student who then digs deeper -- not the teacher -- to support or disavow the accuracy of the entry. [pp.59-60]

The idea of “ … basically building a text for their course[s] …” is a very interesting idea. [p63.]

Obviously, this chapter has lots of tid-bits of information/factoids such as, for example, the origin of the word “wiki” (“wiki-wiki” means “quick” in Hawaiian). [p.55]
