How Do I Even Wiki?

For this blog, I browsed an interesting website about teachers using wikis. It explained wikis, how to use them, and how they can be useful in the real world and in the classroom. Below is a link to the website:
http://www.teachersfirst.com/content/wiki/

This website was useful for so many different reasons. For real beginners, it started off talking about what exactly wikis are, and how to use them. Wikis are like a learning community that can be accessed and changed by anyone (or whoever the creator wants it to be available to). They are a great way for students (and teachers too!) to collaborate and work together on any given project or just to study. The website elaborates a lot on how to use them most effectively and how they can be useful for anyone and everyone. However, because the site is called TeachersFirst, it mostly focuses on how teachers and students use them for collaborative learning experiences and sharing teaching advice and ideas. It goes subject to subject and gives specific examples of how a teacher would facilitate a wiki in many different ways for each. It then goes through many different topics that pertain specifically and solely to the teacher. This entire site is a fantastic resource for people like myself that feel like they are reading a different language when they encounter anything remotely technological. Even though this class has helped a lot, technology still scares me, and this site walks through wikis almost like it is for 5 year olds. This is 100% ok with me, because technology makes me feel likes 5 year old. I would recommend this site to almost anyone using wiki for any reason. Not only does it tremendously help beginners like me, but it also gives great ideas for seasoned veterans that know wikis like the back of their hand! This site was awesome to read.
