Thing 22

In your blog post be sure to include the link to your wiki. Then discuss your feelings about using a wiki. How does a wiki differ from a blog? When is one more appropriate to use than the other?

I decided to create a wiki for my Helping Hands Helping Paws club. It was a bit of a challenge and a bit frustrating since the video I watched about how to include images and videos didn't have the same wikispaces icons as the ones that were actually on my page, and I had trouble navigating the ones that were there. I was able to create a couple of links, however, and I will fool around with the pages I created when I have more time. The link to my pages is http://www.helpinghandshelpingpawsnhs.wikispaces.com

I like the idea of a wiki for a class project or an extracurricular club where people can contribute ideas and edit the site. With a blog people can add ideas, but not necessarily edit other people's postings. This would be most appropriately used for a class when you want the unedited comments of participants.

  1. This is a good way to keep your club organized without having to constantly send emails or print messages to everyone individually
