Wikis are cool. I think that there is a vast amount of people that don't know about them let alone know how to use them. It is hard for me to have a site that is edited because I want to know who changed it and when they changed it and I feel as though I have lost the control. For a project that I don't mind giving up some of that control (Good Luck!) I might find some uses for. I also like that I can limit who is able to make those changes as with small groups or classes (I knew I could find control). I however find it hard to not go in and change things just because I can...Go ahead, I dare you to change something on wikipedia.com!
As a teacher I plan on teaching younger grades so there will not be as much need for a Wiki within the classroom, but I could foresee using it with the parents or fellow educators within the school. I feel that is it another way for people to connect that are not always able to do so in person. Some are just more responsive when they can do it on their own time and easily access.
