Using Wiki to Communicate Information

Wiki is defined as a website that allows the creation and editing of interlinked web pages.  Wikis are mostly used for collaborative works.  It allows people to sign in and be invited to join groups to edit pages.  This could be a useful tool in schools and the work place, allowing multiple peoples ideas to be put in one place.  A good aspect of Wiki is that people can build on other people's ideas.  This means that the ideas on the page have been molded into a well thought through and well edited opinions or research.  Wiki is a tool that should be taken advantage of in schools and the work place to collaborate on ideas.  There is something out there though called WikiLeaks.  WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes confidential or private information it gets from anonymous news sources.  WikiLeaks has caught grief from government officials for releasing classified information that could have jeopardized national security.  In April of this last year they released a video of U.S soldiers killing Iraqi civilians and journalists.
