Thing 22

I have spent most of the evening trying to create my own wiki. I must admit that I had much difficulty with this. I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the initial instructions at first. I also couldn't figure out how to get to page 2 even though I created a page two. I actually had to create a second wiki because my first one was such a mess. The one I messed up is: www.speechlanguagesharesite.wikispaces.com. The one I did next is: www.sharesiteforspeechlanguage.wikispaces.com. I will keep trying to fix it because I do think it will be a useful tool for collaborating with my secondary speech language pathology colleagues to keep a running list of useful materials, books and websites to use with secondary speech and language impaired students. I do not feel confident enough yet to invite people to look at my wiki! I will keep working on it after this class ends. I think a wiki is different from a blog because a wiki is more fluid; it can constantly change or be updated. My blog is really an online journal for me. Some of the other blogs I have seen are more instructional in nature than mine, but are still pretty much from the viewpoint of the writer. I think once I really understand how to edit my wiki, it will be a very useful tool.
