Thing #16: Wikis

We all spend many hours sifting through emails, sometimes deleting that one valuable posting in our hast to rid ourselves of the mountains of clutter. I really feel that some well designed wikis could help librarians and teachers use their time and share resources more efficiently. Our biggest obstacle has been the district firewall and the belief that wikis and blogs are "social" instead of professional networks. Hopefully by presenting some examples of useful wikis, that belief will change.
