Thing 22

Making my own Wiki...

As I was afraid of, I didn't like creating, or using WikiSpaces. I did however follow directions, and mine can be found here.

Here is what I didn't like about this experience. Let me start off by saying that I chose to start a website for my algebra class. I included a math comic, and my school Google Calendar (I did like that it could be incorporated). I found that I could not get the layout that I wanted without messing with tables, and I thought it was more difficult to set the font size and color than it should have been.

I'm not sure how or what I would have students post to the site. Possibly they could ask questions, but couldn't a social networking sit work just as well as that? Couldn't I just have shared documents? Maybe my thinking is too narrow on this topic, or I don't know how to serve my student population by using a wiki.
