Here’s a great one for social studies, government, and law courses. WashingtonWatch.com, a website that provides detailed information on bills pending in Congress, has launched a wiki that “allows public editing of information about the bills pending in Congress.” This is definitely new territory for wiki use, and could get interesting. How will lawmakers react when members of the public make changes to bills that stand in contrast to their views? For a lawmaker, it could be hard to explain why you edited the wiki to disagree with one of your constituents.

From the site: “With the public hungry for better information, and Washington insiders eager to reach them directly, WashingtonWatch.com is now supplying a forum for this needed communication…This is an opportunity for the insiders on Capitol Hill and downtown in Washington, D.C. to articulate what they are doing, and to advocate their positions.”
