For me the verdict is still out on Wiki's.  I look at websites like Wikipedia and I am not always sure that the information presented is valid.  I always have to question the website because anyone and everyone can publish material on the website.  I think that Wiki's do have their place in the educational setting, though.  I think that they can be a great tool for instructors to use in their class that allows students to add information they come across on their own so that they can easily share the information with other students.  The instructor would have to constantly monitor the Wiki to ensure that correct information is being added, but I think that the potential would be huge to allow students to connect.
