WEEK 5 Explore Wikipedia and wikis; Contribute to a wiki

Hi

Added comments to the NSW learning 2.0 Wiki this week.

I like the idea using of wiki use in public libraries, would be pretty good in local or family history, all the history and genealogy buffs would get off on it, correcting one another's entries. LOL.

I actually have a family member who has made it into the world of Wikipedia for his contribution to the game of soccer, maybe it would be fun to add a few entries of my own.

I have found wikipedia to be a useful tool in the library, only the other day a patron requested a time line of Australian Prime ministers, wiki to the rescue, happy patron.
