I took a look at a few wiki pages to see what they have to offer.
planet math
What did you find?
The link above takes you to PlanetMath which is filled, and I mean FILLED, with information. I thought it gave great factual information, but was a bit overwhelming for school-age kids.
What did you think?This would be a great site for college students learning advanced math. I also noticed that while the encylopedia section was widely used, the papers and books sections were not. Overall it seems to be a great source for specific learners.
So what?
Web pages can be used it so many ways...
What now?
Remember to keep the target audience in mind when developming wikis.
I found another math page that seemed to be more suited for varying age groups.
