I'm sure you've heard about
Wikipedia before. It's super popular, but at my school in
ALARP class we have been trained to automatically say "
UNRELIABLE" at any mention of the cursed w-word. Why is it
unreliable, well anyone can change it. I can get on right now and type up any bull i want and post it. Yes, there are monitors for that kind of thing, but still it makes me feel uneasy about using
information of such a site. But i am not writing this to beat up on
Wikipedia, however i am here to praise and
glorify the wonderful Wiki. My AP Lit teacher just set one up for us recently. The wiki enables us students to work as a group and post answers to questions and
pomp ts online. The you can go in edit and
re-post. It is an easy and
efficient way to collaborate without being face to face. I have a feeling that the wiki will become important, and i also believe that
facebook will soon be creating applications in which you upload entire documents online. I also have a feeling that
facebook will soon rule our lives, but
that's just a side note.

Anyway, just wanted to get that little plug in there, but if you ever have the chance to use a wiki i highly encourage it, they are so useful! just beware of wiki-wars.
