Unless you've been living on a desert island the last few years, you've probably heard about Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia for and by the masses. Wikipedia is just one example of a type of wiki, a mode of web publishing that can allow anyone to edit the web page.
For this topic we are going to link to the PLCMC 23 Things blog. The first task below will take you to their site.
Task #1 Learn more about Wikis
Task #2 Watch this clip from the Colbert Report about Wikiality. You may also want to watch the clip on Wikilobbying while you're there.
Task #3 (optional) Find a page on Wikipedia covering a subject you are familiar with and edit the page to either correct misinformation or add new information.
Task #4 Write a blog post about your thoughts on wikis. Include a link to the Wikipedia entry you edited if you did Task 3.
