The World of Wikis

Well, I have dipped my toes into wiki-world and find the waters not too bad. First, I learned that I could use the services of a "wiki farm" or host the wiki myself on the server for my website. Being a total wiki novice, I opted for a wiki farm — wikia.com. In the week that I've ben building the wiki, I've been very happy with wikis. In addition to an extensive help forum, their response to additional questions is reasonably prompt (within one working day) and helpful. Here's the wiki —http://esol-volunteer.wikia.com — still a work in progress, but I'm pleased with how it's working. Suggestions welcome.

  1. Sounds good, Nancy! I have used google docs and etherpad.org. The latter was not as pretty, but it was easy to access, especially when your students may or may not have a google account or remember their passwords.

  2. Thanks, Will. So here I am more than a year later and still not making progress with this blog. Thanks for the reminder. I just had an marvelous summer session with my students doing digital storytelling. Need to write about it. Thanks for the reminder and the inspiration to get back to this blog.
