If Wikileaks is bad, then aren't ALL wikis bad? 6th Grade

With recent focus in the news on the wiki-leaks scandal, some of the students questioned whether wiki-s are  lawful.  I felt it was necessary to cue the students in on some more detailed information so that they could understand the true problem.  First, I defined a wiki as a collaborative website where the average Joe (aka- you and I) can request to join the wiki, and with membership to the wiki, we can edit or add our own information, opinion or input.  I explained that the problem with the specific wiki, namely Wiki-Leaks, lies within the unlawful stealing of confidential information.  The students asked some really thoughtful questions, and for the remaining computer class time we immersed ourselves in discussion about proper Internet usage.  I believe today's discussion helped to clarify and resovle the students' concerns about wiki-s.
