For this lesson, we learned about Wiki’s. Wiki’s are a cool collaborative tool which posts directly to the web. I knew from our travels that "wiki" meant quick, and in the tutorial we used, it mentioned that the creator of Wiki did not want to call his creation a quick web, so chose the Hawaiian word Wiki which means quick.
I checked out Forest Hills Public Schools on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Hills_Public_Schools and added the year Eastern High School was added to the district as highlighted in this screen print. This is the district that I currently work at. Since I am still relatively new to the district, I did not have much to offer, but noted that the date of the newest building was not attached, so I added "2004" on the page. I found this resource on the district's web site and I added documented that information as I made the change.
I also created by own Wiki space at http://bob-carl.wikispaces.com/. Here is a screen shot of that space:
Nothing overly exciting here, just experimenting with the flexibility of this new resource.
