What I Know About Wikis Is

The experience of creating a wiki was not nearly as daunting as learning about all of the sites where one can create a wiki and why one may choose to do so. Simply put, the Internet sometimes overwhelms me to the point of crippling me. After looking at each of the wiki sites, the PB site seemed the most user friendly by far (of course, it could also be because I looked at it first).

My wiki site Owlbook would be useful for my yearbook class. The page I created could be used to keep track of good ideas we have for headlines for our theme. One of yearbook's biggest jobs at first is to design a yearbook theme, and I could easily see a page devoted to brain stroming about that as well. The class could also keep track of photography tips and yearbook pages ideas as well. This easily meets the second ISTE NETS standard of community and collaboration. Students need opportunities to share knowledge with one another and communicate about that knowledge.
