Our latest adventure has been creating a wiki site for our classmates. We choose www.wetpaint.com for this assignment. It's fun, easy and free.
The advanatges of this site are really quite simple, It's collaboration at it's greatest. You start a free acount, invite your collegues and start setting it up. (we've already done that step for you, Now it's up to you to except the invite and state your thoughts)
A little back ground for our classmates currently in English. As defined by the wikipedia "A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.[1][2] Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites".
This allows everyone to create and collaborate on equal footing. Don't be scared of all the new words or concepts, they are the way of the future and everyone needs to know them and how to use them.
A few more definitions:
TAGS: Help link pages together, They are the Keywords used when searching.
Widgets: "A widget is anything that can be embedded within a page"
