Week 5 - Wikis

Today I'm looking at wikis , eg

http://pbwiki.com/
I tried to view the pbwiki tour but the page was taking ages to load so I will watch it at home.

I've created a PBWiki account and have requested access to
nswlearning2.pbwiki.com.
(Note: PB stands for "peanut butter" as it's supposed to be as easy as making a sandwich!

I've also looked at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial
and the other links in this session.

This wiki is specifically for Readers' Advisory Services
http://readersadvisory.wetpaint.com/?t=anon

One great idea mentioned on that blog is one that come up at the Leeton course: "blind date with a book" , "mystery book".
I did actually join this Wiki after the Leeton course, but I've "re-joined" under a different name now. :)

Adventure:Look up the entry for your local town or area in Wikipedia. How could
it be improved? Edit the entry.

I couldn't do this as there was no entry for Young.

This has been a very comprehensive session !
