I have not ever created a wiki, so this was a new experience. I have worked with teenagers for over ten years as a mentor. The past two years has been especially difficult because of the high unemployment rate among teenagers. Many young adults do not have the skills necessary to market themselves in the job market. I have created a wiki that will contain ideas for resumes, internship opportunities and motivation. I work with several successful entrepreneurs that will assist with resources to add to the wiki.
The advantages of wikis are numerous and especially because it is not just information from one person, but collaboration makes a wiki successful. A disadvantage would be that possible different writing styles of various pages could be hard to comprehend for some readers. Students of today will use a technology and be engaged if we give it to them and let them be creative.
