I like the PBwiki: Power Educators Wiki. It has a TeacherTube video explaining about the wiki and a link to example wikis that are categorized by K-12, University, Adult Ed, and ESL. I looked under the K-12 category and saw where two third grade classes created a wiki where they can share news and photos. The students have their own page where they can upload their work. I think this is a great idea.
The BookLoversWiki from Princeton Public Library is an interesting wiki for those of us who love to read. It contains book reviews of many books organized by categories such as mystery and romance. It doesn’t look like it has been updated for quite some time. A similar wiki could be created for a library where students, staff, parents, etc. contribute to the wiki by reviewing books they have read.

The thing that I find most powerful about Wikis is also the thing that is the most frustrating. The wealth of ideas can be so powerful but only if people make it a task to participate.
