The articles "Wiki Walk Through" and "Wikis (sunflower)" were excellent introductions to what a Wiki is about. Today's UTube video was also a plus. Having only used "Wikipedia" as a read only website, I found the possibilities of a collaborative and editable Wiki site new and unfamiliar. It will take me a while to tap fully into this new format.

ReplyDelete"What Has Podcasting Done for You?: Great Things Often Begin in Small Ways" - The important point is to get started, even in a small way. The small change in the Principal's announcements led to more student input and involvement and interest.
"The Anatomy of a Podcast" - Podcasting has a history born of the need for audio blogging. The article hit home when it asked "Would your parents subscribe to podcasts?" Until this summer I didn't know what a Podcast was, being of the parent generation (if not grandparent) and if it weren't for the Apple Store workshop, I wouldn't have known. And I now have podcasts of the Civil War on my ipod to listen to on my long flights to Hawaii and back.

ReplyDeleteI don't think Hawaii gets enough credit for the development of Wikis. Was the person who got them started from the islands?
