Thing Fifteen

I have to say that I like the idea of wikis much more than the actually reality of posting on one.  FYI if you haven't got to 15 yet, you can not add a folder until you confirm your email.  Once I got over that hump, it seemed to be smooth sailing.  I added a folder that contained a pic of a blanket I made from Thing 7.  This picture can be fun to crop and mix up colors with. 

I really enjoyed the YouTube video on the explanation of wikis.  It explains wikis as webpages that allow for many, or a few, to edit.  The main buttons for a wiki page are edit, save, and link.  This allows for groups to coordinate more easily.  Now, we can share all kinds of information without email.  Yay! 

I like the idea of using wikis to share information.  I'm not sure if I would use them in the classroom.  I think that the blogs are the best format for sharing within a class.  The video we watched had the example of a camping trip list.  This is a great way for people to "get together" and make "to do" lists.  I am a BIG list maker so, I think I would use wikis in a similar way.

Fifteen done and eight to go!
