I have to agree with fsm from Lost in Cyberspace that I love those wacky CommonCraft guys. They just have that knack for making everything so easy to understand and fun to boot.
Even a group of elementary students could take this concept and understand how a wiki could work to their advantage on a project. So why not? This is the perfect party planner, after all. I remember a time when I worked for weeks with groups of sixth graders on a persuasive unit and they planned end-of-year theme celebrations. They had four categories to plan: food, decorations, costumes, and entertainment. It took them so long to plan because they made so many drafts of their work. A wiki would eliminate so much of this. This is a built in editing device and the group could focus on bigger issues if needed. Oh, and yes, it was a persuasive unit. The students wrote letters to secure all needs for the celebrations and we ate, played, and learned about new cultures and activities for the last two weeks of school. It was an amazing experience.
