Even though Qwiki is in the alpha stage, it is still very impressive. Imagine an online encyclopedia that reads the information to you and showcases a slideshow of images alongside the data. That is Qwiki. All of the presentations are short and offer many related entries to the topic you searched. The whole thing reminds me of a sci-fi / HAL experience - "computer tell me about the history of Europe..."
As Qwiki grows, it could be a great way to access information.
I plan to use Qwiki as an introductory tool when starting new units, as a research kick-off point for students, review sessions, and exploring of related concepts discussed in class.
Here are a few random topics I searched:
And of course, you can post Qwiki entries on your blog or wiki with ease!
