Wiki's

Your class provided my first experience with a “Wiki”. According to the introduction, it is like having a white board in front of us to understand what is already provided and what may still be needed. I enjoyed the information provided on the camping trip.
I am not familiar with how to set one up and will definitely do more research on that aspect. Our family used to do a reunion every year. Using a Wiki would be a feasible way to track who would be in attendance, choose where we want to hold it through the links, and what would be necessary to bring for community use.
Having the ability to both determine the things we have, as well as what we think may be needed for someone else to state they all ready have access to it, would prevent duplication of many things, while providing other things that we didn’t think of. It would save on expenses for all involved while thinking of everyone involved.
My family members reside in many states and this is a terrific way to organize a gathering so immense. I thought the links were a great asset to the Wiki for coordination and choice information. I realize that we also have these abilities in email.
In my opinion, teachers could use a Wiki to organize a field trip for students by including instruction on time and place for meeting and arranging the lunch and dinner for the people going on the trip. I wonder how many teachers even know that Wiki’s exist or how to access them in the first place.
