ASIST 2007 Notes
Tagging
Really exhaustive notes from the session
Wikis
First presenter talked about Wikipedia...
Second presenter talked about Wikibooks...
Interesting comment -- wikibook collaborators were very comfortable with sharing information. Grad students were not. He tied this back to the level of technical expertise. While he didn't really prove the correlation, I think he's on to something.
Third presenter talked about PBwiki...
Students really saw the wiki as a collaborative website. Would have expected they would have used Wikipedia as a frame for understanding, since its the most visible example.
Students kept their writing separate, rather than working on a shared body of content. Rather, they used it more for commentary.
Brad was fourth, talking about conference wikis...
Fifth presenter talked about info quality in the `Pedia...

Public by default, private when necessary
Different notions public
Teens notions of privacy is that they can control the audience
Conversations have a fluidity, moving from space to space
I'm curious about the parent-teen relationship
