Wikis

Okay, I have been on Wikipedia but hadn't spent much time until I had the assignment. I also liked the Kearns High Library Wiki. It had information the students would want for research and information. It was easy to use, organized and a cool looking, sparse site. There were search engines and I liked Creative Commons for pictures as well.

For some reason the Amelia Evans wiki for me came up as a list. The best practices wouldn't come up at all, so I changed browsers and still no luck. I am interested to learn more but not sure how I will incorporate wikis in my library. I have no time for necessary jobs like overdue slips and book repairs so whatever I do will have to be streamlined and really useful.

I also created my own wiki but can't get the instructional videos to come up. They do and I click the arrow then they go dark for hours and never load. My dh upgraded to the highest speed internet this weekend so I could get them to run and it still won't work so I will have to attack it later.
