Wiki

Wikis are a way for mutliple authors to post information the web. Once one person publishes a post, an infinite amount of other people are allowed to post informatiom responding to that topic. Unfortunately, wikis aren't always reliable becuase anyone can post whatever they want, whenever they want. So if unreliable person posts information, but makes it look true, people could get thrown off. The largest existing wiki, wikipedia, edits its information quite frequently and quickly, which allows for less of this to happen.
I have made a wiki for my use in Edtech class, in which we publich information about education technology. It is a useful tool for the classroom because it can be used by so many users.
