Thing #9

I had teachers at school who wanted to create Wikis.  I was not familiar with them so I had created one in the summer to see how it works.  I still was not truly understanding the full concept of a Wiki until this lesson showed me how it works and ways to utilize it.  This discovery activity helped me out a lot.  

Several steps were taking to create a Wiki.  Adding the content and linking to sites was fairly easy.  Although, I did have a little trouble with the Table of Contents. Trying to figure out the layout that I wanted took me some time and I am still not happy with it.   I want it to look neat and inviting, so I had to look at other Wiki's to get ideas.  It still is not what I want, but it will get there one day.

It took some time finding a picture or embedding media into my Sandbox.  It should be a lot faster once I get use to the process.  I really enjoyed the generator samples.  Those were really exciting, I did not realize there were so many of those out there.  I can't wait to have a little more time to explore those.

Overall, the experience was great and I felt excited knowing that our students could enjoy this just as much as we do creating it.
