Well today in my graphic designs class my teacher Mr. Williams had me and my fellow classmates breakup into two different groups. One group going over what a wiki is and what it is used for. An the other group going over podcast what it is and what its used for. I had to do a little research on wiki. I already knew what wikipedia was but I didn't know that there was over 100 different types of wikis. Wiki is an online encyclopedia made up from people like me and you. Businesses and individuals are finding that wikis have benefits for many different purposes aside from encyclopedias. Wikis are a collection of web pages that are designed to be edited by groups of people.
When I was in High School if I ever had to do a research paper my teachers would tell me to not use wikipedia because it is not always correct. Of course its not always correct because its basically different opinions of peoples thoughts on certain things.
When I was researching on wikis it said that when people keep editing on certain wiki websites the information becomes a little more accurate but it doesn't always mean that its correct. I found that there is all kinds of wikis, including gaming wikis, cooking wikis, even the government has a wiki.
In this class I find that I still have alot to learn about the internet and graphic designs. So im looking forward to learning more in this class as the months go by.
