Who’s on What?
(Delight) I just can’t get enough of learning new technology. Almost everytime i log into twitter i’m learning something new and want to try it out right then and there. I don’t get it when people “Don’t Get” twitter. Like Pavlov’s dog, my mouth starts to water and i dive right into to a new tool, blog, wiki, virtual world, or methodology. It’s an exciting time!! I wonder how many others feel the same way. I also wonder about how I can share all this cool stuff with other Computer Resource Specialists in our school system.
(Discovery) I had an idea to create a wiki to organize our new learning and to encourage others (and myself) to try new things. Yesterday @javarich posted a math wiki created by Ken G. using http://www.wetpaint.com/. My mouth started to water, my mind started to rev up, and my idea was born- Why not create a wiki to share all of this new digital learning?
(Discovery) I created this – http://vbcpscrs.wetpaint.com/ Virginia Beach CRS (& Friends) Who’s on What? wiki. I worked on this for the best part of an entire day. If you want the day to fly by, just embark on a new online project! Wow, did i wear my PJs all day? (did i just admit that?) So, right now I’m the only member of this wiki. I hope others will join in and share… or will this be a Disaster? I wonder if my wiki will make it. I’m thinking that a wiki is like a new restaurant- some make it and most don’t. Gotta wait and see. Together we can make it a great resource!
My take on http://www.wetpaint.com/ wikis:
-Very, very, very easy and user friendly to set up
-Voki widget easy to embed
-Tables easier than wikispaces (just right click in table to modify)
-Not sure if I like the More Tools>”add attachment” feature for uploading docs, they show up all the way at the bottom
-Not a fan of the abundance of advertisement on margins
