Wiki

I was a little nervous about this task this week, but it ended up coming together quite well.  Clearly, some people had worked with wiki’s and took charge and helped our collaborative effort develop seamlessly.  I really do appreciate the time and leadership that those in the helm took as it helped the rest of us move along.

I have worked on shared documents before (Google Docs and Zoho), but I have found the experience to not be as smooth.  In the past, I loved the collaborative nature of the shared document and the ability to know what was the “current” draft.  In the past, my group members and I all seemed to need a live chat function in order to make changes and develop ideas.  This time, I learned that it is “ok” to add things and make changes!

Toolkit – wiki

I have a wiki!  Well, it is the last day of school and I finally have a wiki! I guess all great ideas take time, but I now have this up and running for next year.  I want to create a collaborative site where students can suggest great resources that they have found online.  I plan on using the resources and I hope they see the value in it as well.  I used pbWorks as some MET students suggested it.  It took minutes to prepare and seems easy for me and my students to follow.  The only thing I questioned was to allow anyone or everyone to contribute!?!?!?!  In the end, I decided to allow everyone with no restrictions.
