As an application of the Internet, how does Wiki disrupt our learning, living and business models?

In the Xingke Cafe of the Halloween Book Garden, Teacher Zhuang Xiuli and the editors of Chinese Wikipedia enthusiastically discussed the topic of how to apply the Wiki model to teaching. It is hard to associate the person in front of you who builds wiki and blog, and uses twitter (a kind of micro-blog) and bookmark (online bookmarks) to share information with "Children King" and mother of 7-year-old boy Dudu.

Teacher Zhuang Xiuli is a doctor of education at Beijing Normal University, specializing in educational informatization. In 2004, she started writing blogs, and then set up her own Wiki page. She realized that Wiki would change the learning method for her son Dudu's generation. In fact, as Teacher Zhuang's intuition, the influence of the Wiki model has far exceeded the fields of Wiki technology and Wikipedia. The Chinese translated version of the newly published book "Wikinomics" has a subtitle "How mass collaboration changes everything".
