The Wiki

I recently read the chapter on wikis in Will Richardson's book. I had no idea just how creative one could be when using a wiki. After reading the chapter, I automatically realized just how exciting it could be to use the wiki in a classroom.

Anytime I have had to write some kind of research paper for the past few years, I turned to wikipedia. Until last year, I wasn't even aware that real people create these informational wikis, and not all of these real people know what they're talking about.

Once I read the wiki chapter and met with my block one group, I realized just how creative you could be with wikis. You can edit anything you want on wikipedia, or add anything you choose to add. Our group decided to create our own wiki about our own topic. The wiki we have started creating is on "verbicide." People will be able to comment on whether or not they agree with what we have to say. Or they can erase anything one of us might say.

I realized that in creating this blog and working with my group to create our own wiki, that there is a great deal I do not know about technology. I am excited about learning new things that I visualize using in my classroom. Now, when I am asked the technology question during an interview I will be able to talk their ears off.

Hey,
I actually just found out also that the Wikipedia isn't as accurate as I always thought. You're definitely right with saying how creative one can be with the Wiki...I've seen some humorous ones pretty recently which is exactly how I found out about them not always being accurate or containing "real" information. Well good luck with your Wiki!

This is actually one tool I plan on using myself. I just found out last year that it could be edited by just about anyone as well. It is something I would like to have in the classroom. Having your own say on certain areas that are compiled entries from the entire class can spark some great results and interests amongst the students.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to
her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole
my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had
to share it with someone!

I do not know whether it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your blog. It appears as if some of the text on your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a problem with my browser because I've had this happen before.
Cheers

Great blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a
little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many choices out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Appreciate it!
