Wikis

I have tried a couple of other wikis to see which ones I like best. I have just started working with the PB Wiki and so far it is not my favorite. I find it very busy and there seems to be so much going on. I have also tried pikiwiki and found it similar to glogster. It seems more like an online poster but again, I need to work some more with it. We have made some glogs in class using glogster and the kids really enjoy it. I made a Jing presentation for my mom to show her how to upload her photos!! After continuously writing down the steps and her losing them, I thought this might be a nice alternative. We'll see if she can figure out how to open it! Work on my paper is not going well. My internet is down and I have had to go to the school to do some work. Unfortunately, my papers are saved on zotero and on google docs so having no internet access has been a bit of a challenge! I am also finding I would rather go try all the sites and applications we have learned about rather than write another paper! Take care everyone and don't stress too much!

  1. I know what you mean - I keep sitting down, intending to "get on" with my final paper and then I think, I'd better just check my gmail, and greader, oh and while I'm here I'd better check my blog, oh and I'll just have a go at ... " and so it goes on, two hours later I haven't made any progress with the final paper but have found out about something else that is neat! We will have to try to maintain our focus - just like we tell our students!!!
