Thing 8. Picture Trail & Rotating Cube

I had a difficult time using picture trail. Thanks to my friend Carol I was able to complete thing 8. I will be adding and sorting photos at home on our new computer sometime next winter I hope. Hopefully, I will have a more positive experience!

Check out my rotating picture cube at the bottom of the page.



Thing 9. Collaborative Tools

I did practice editing the Declaration of Independence using Goggle Docs. The editing was not difficult and kind of fun. I don't know when I will every use it but at least I will know how!



Thing 10. Wikis

I looked a few wikis and practiced adding an entry to the Wiki Sandbox. My favorite wiki was the Minnesota Historical Society wiki for MN150. I enjoyed reading the comments of the citizens who nominated their favorites to be included in the exhibit. It was easy to manuever through their wiki and it was well arranged.

I don't think that students should be banned from using wiki's but I do think that they should be required to use other sources as well. The library system that I work for does have a reference wiki. Instead of sending and remembering what was in each email there is now a central place to look for information. I do find it helpful and a time saver.
