Wiki wiki wooo..

Found the idea and practice of Wikis as having great promise for being useful in everyday use. Information being so open makes for a more direct form and structure of getting like ideas together into a workable form. Imagine no meetings and discussions on what content should or should not be inputted. Just do it and sort it out through a group effort without having to be at the same location!

Of the example Wikis given I found this section highly interesting:
http://instructionwiki.org/Library_2.0_in_15_minutes_a_day

This shows what other library systems have in the past or are currently doing to educate their staff on technology. There were a lot of other programs like KCLS’s Learning 2.0 and it was neat to see that the different systems were sharing these lesson plans. Open source is great!
