Wiki's

I just figured out that I've known about Wiki's and have used them for the past year. I had no idea what a wiki was, but like others I had been directed to Wikipedia numerous times while searching one thing or another. Also, I took a math course last summer, which cost me nothing if I participated in 20 hours of online participation in an extension of the class. The way we got our assignments and were led to links was through a Wiki, and I knew it was called that but never made the connection until I saw the example Wiki's on the barb2.0 page. Now it has more meaning for me because I loved how the information was presented and how easy it was for me to maneuver around wherever we were supposed to go through that class. I'm definitely going to make one of my own and see if it'll work for me to post assignments, helpful links and classroom information to my students and parents/guardians.
