Wiki Wiki Wiki

The ability to explore a wiki came at a really good time for me. I am totally new to using a wiki, but need to use one for another course. I figured I would experiment with the tools available in the tool kit which would help me with the assignment. Having explored Wikipedia, Wikispaces and clicking on edit to view the code used to embed or center images/video, and playing with the mark-ups I felt I was ready to write my wiki entry for etec 510. I was wrong. On the surface it looked easy however authoring a complete entry and figuring out page layout turned out to be a labor intensive task. The ability to see how others had been able to lay out their page was helpful and through trial and error I was able to finish the entry. It is due this weekend, however every time I go back to it I change something and the changes are becoming easier. I think that my next encounter using a wiki will be less focused on learning how to use the tool and more focused on using the tool, I hope.
