I have very limited experience with wikis. Two of my classes in college have used them and I have found them very easy to use once you play around on them some. I have found them simple to use as far as uploading documents and posting discussions. I have also seen them easy to manipulate when the professor needed to make changes to assignments.
I looked at the examples listed and saw some wikis where the only thing they were used for was uploading pictures. If that is the purpose of their wiki then they are doing great! However, I feel that the wikis I looked at where the students uploaded assignments and projects seemed to be more beneficial to the teacher.
I think that even in an elementary school library a wiki would be a great thing to set up when doing research or collaborative projects. It is a centralized location for the librarian and students to manage their materials and will allow the teacher and the librarian to make changes and adjustments as necessary.
