Wiki for your course

There has been a lot of Wikipedia bashing the past year or so. But, Web 2.0 is all about interactivity as opposed to the static nature of Web 1.0. I know, any Harry, Billy, or Bob can add content that is totally false.

Well, what if you could let your Millennial Generation students create their own knowledge, but only they would have access instead of the entire world? And, you could monitor the postings? Well, of course you can through the Peanut Butter wiki website. Check out for yourself, it's free! www.pbwiki.com.
