Week 7 Thing 16 Wikis

Well, I have explored the world of wikis and the world is pretty neat. Lots of neat ways to use them. I read how teachers are using them to communicate with their students and are replacing class handouts by using wikis. I explored a literature wiki and found a topic that interested me, Chic Lit. (For those times when you are brain dead and can't handle anything more than that.) I looked at the one about New Orleans conference and that was pretty neat how info was collected about the conference events and also about things that were happening in the area and places to go. I'm sure that the people who were natives of the area were a great asset in sharing info. Wikis are a neat way to organize events without having to constantly e-mail each other. Can't wait to set one up for this purpose.
I went to Technorati and researched the videos about wikis. Watched several about how to set up and use wikis. These videos made it seem easy. I hope this is so when I set one up.
