The wiki I created this week was the first wiki I have ever created! Of course I have heard of wikis and even worked on them but never created my own until now!
The process of the first steps in creating a wiki has been a beneficial learning experience. It took me several days to decide just what would be the topic of my new wiki. Once I decided to focus on a library book club wiki, I realized I then needed to first work on the structural organization..... just how was I going to structure things so that the wiki would be organized and easy for students to navigate? Once I had this vision created in my mind, I then began to play with my newly established wiki account to figure out how to create pages, link pictures and choose font, size and color. I know much more can be added to my wiki.... I hope to continue to explore and create.
In creating the wiki to be used with a school library book club, I hope that it would encourage students to read books outside of school assignments and create a community of students who enjoy reading and sharing ideas about books.
Nice job. Great point about the need to chart it out before you get started! I can't wait to see the wiki!
