There is a question mark in the title because I honestly do not remember which module we are on in class. Even though, I have looked at the directions page for this module at least a dozen times. My only excuse for this memory loss: After this week of wiki madness, I have brain fatigue.
I truly love these wikis. After viewing every group’s wiki I can say with certainty, that I now understand the reason a lot of libraries don't have one. These things are work! ... Full time jobs! ... Toddlers! They take as much time to care for as toddlers! Even in a group of six people this wiki seemed like a lot of work. From what I have seen on the web, most libraries can barely keep their Facebook pages current. How would they keep a wiki up-to-date?
Now that all the rant is out of my system, I can list the good things about wikis. The sky is the limit. I wanted to add something extra to my page. I thought I would finally go buy Photoshop and do a cool "Welcome to my page" icon, but I got lazy ... and cheap (Price of Photoshop). I could have downloaded some free application (Check out Gimp, I like what I see). I finally decided to add a sound file to my page. PB works makes it easy, since they allow plug ins within their page editing. If you don't know what page I'm taking about click here. I had a friend listen to the file and she said it was funny T_T. *sigh* Oh well, I tried.
After viewing the comments about group alpha's wiki, I decided to add a Tweens page at the last minute. A few people commented that it was odd we didn't have one since every other age group was covered in the wiki. So, now we're complete! I almost wish we uploaded our sites earlier so we could give each other feedback. But as usual, (for me anywayz) it all comes together at the eleventh hour.
Wikis are definitely a lot of work! It takes you five minutes to read them but much much longer to create them. Same with podcasts and other web 2.0 tools.
ReplyDeleteI like how you took everyone's suggestion and added a tween page at the last minute. This also demonstrates how easy it is to add to a wiki very quickly, or change something around if need be.
