Thing # 16 Wiki's

I liked the blog Talk: Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki because it did not have a lot of talking on it. It had lists with category headings and a wealth of topics to go to. It was easy to navigate and go to subject matters that you are interested in.

For the mid-term presentation, our group created a Wiki page scavenger hunt for the library, called Treasures in the Library. It was not difficult to set up and I see how it will keep the students interest because they will be using technology instead of a book and/or just a worksheet. Also, in this activity they work in a group and will get up and walk around to locate a book of their choice.

In my Young Adult Literature class, we used a wiki to discuss the books we read and exchanged opinions about them. People do need to learn to be short and meaningful in their discussions when a whole lot of people are involved. You risk the chance of being skipped over if you go on and on.
