I found this wintry picture and decided to post it. “Whitetail deer in snow.” It’s serene and beautiful.
Wikis’s – I think Deirdre’s post really says it all. I like this idea for a library and summer reading program purposes. While I was checking out other wiki’s, I found a university in Michigan, (I think, I looked at a lot of them), that was introducing it to their staff, and offered a sandbox for playing around with it. But you had to have a password to enter the sandbox, which is good because it limits those who can edit. I like that many libraries use a subject wiki; very helpful for librarians and staff.
The wiki concept reminds me of the online collaboration feature in MS word, but could used with a much larger and less restricted population or group.
I thought I noticed John used it for YA Librarian’s to add their favorite 2008 pic’s?? What a great use for a wiki.
It’s trickiest downside is when used for research and or a citation in a paper. Credibility is compromised when anyone can add or edit to it to a wiki.
