Been a hectic week this week; what with going through test questions, e-learning week questions, questions for the tutorial! Plus lectures for this week and Open House duty! Am I glad this is the weekend...phew!
Did some exploring of two free wiki websites; Wikis do seem really easy to use...
Here are two of them that I sort of looked at (check out the videos which show you step-by-step how to make use of the features in Wiki.

This really does level the playing field - there's no more need for HTML or any special language or programming to do web pages anymore :)
Ah yes, had fun composing some stuff and adding a para to the Dog and Cat story in the Wiki sandbox of Classroom Learning 2.0. Found it pretty hard to read and make connections to the stuff in there as it must have been edited so many times, and hmm, where's the story really going?? It's hard to tell. Maybe that's one difficulty with Wikis, anyone can edit it, and if you don't agree, you can re-edit it over and over again.
I guess that's how students should look at each other's write-up in a project, everyone should provide inputs to making a report better. In the end, the report has to reflect some kind of consensus aomong all team members. Just got to be careful that too many hands do not spoil the broth.
