Thing #15

 After reading through some of the articles about wikis, I find it so interesting. I really enjoyed learning all the ways that it can be used. I  espicially like the booklovers wikis. I think it is so great that they edit their own views and critics about books to share with others. Before doing this "thing", I never knew you could create your own wiki, which I found to be pretty cool since I have always read wikipedia. Not to use for my papers of course, but just to look up or get background information on certain things.

I have never edited my own wiki, but I found it to be pretty easy. In my post, I talked about "Thing 8" and how much I enjoyed doing the mashups and how I cant wait to be able to share things like this with my own students. Overall, I think wiki is a great tool, espicially for collabaration in the classroom. I could just see myself now giving my students a group project where they could edit and revise with other groups using their own wiki. I also think it would be great for teachers to have a wiki site to share information about books, movies, or any ther ideas that could be useful for the classroom. Any kind of communication is important and I really enjoy sharing and learning new ideas so I really like the whole concept and hope to use it more in my future.
