Thing 21

I knew what Wikipedia was and I was familiar with the concept of others changing and adding things, but I don't think I ever really understood it until now.  The little video about collaborating on the camping trip was excellent, it very clearly described how to utilize a wiki.  So when I began exploring some, I was surprised by the sophistication and the complexity.  I like simple, and for me a wiki will need to be pretty straightforward and not try to do too much.  I liked HanaleeBookWiki, it was really quite fabulous and would that all LA classes shared books this way.  When I went on the educational Wikis and scrolled down, I clicked on Lord of the Flies, another wonderful book sharing place.  I would be inspired to start a wiki that had to do with a small group of students collaborating on a project.  I guess I envision a wiki like the camping example, and I think this is the best use of one.  Hurdles would be students who did not have internet access, and it would take convincing them to go to the library or a friend or relatives to work outside of school.  Worth the fight?  Yes, I think being able to work together on something with a wiki would be worth telling parents and administration that even though a student did not have internet access at home, this way of collaborating is important enough to work outside of school, somewhere!

I just checked to see the time and it says this was posted at 3:41, however it is 6:43.  I don't know why the posted time does not match the real time.  The time on my computer is the correct time.
