Welcome to Wikis

The world of wikis is larger than I expected. I visited a bunch of them, but my favorite was http://childrensbookreview.pbwiki.com. Having retained my previous lessons, I of course bookmarked this site on my del.icio.us page. I also saw a cool children's literature wiki out of the University of Calgary, and the ChildLit wiki, which has a "what do I read next" type feature.

I also made an entry in the Tapestry of Freedom Wiki and found it to be surprisingly easy. The features that allowed me to underline, etc., were very windows-y and intuitive.

I'm not sure I see this as being as useful a tool for our library as some of the others we've learned about, but if we do use it then the Tapestry project, as a community event, was a good application. In terms of trying something new and exploring the virtual world, I'm still glad we had this assignment.
