I created a page on the APSU 23 Things Sandbox wiki. At least, I hope I did. I was not entirely sure what I was doing on there because it was somewhat confusing to me. I was not sure if I put my blog post about my curriculum ideas in the right place. I really hope I did not mess something up or delete anyone's post. If I did, I apologize. It was completely unintentional! You can find my page on the wiki at http://apsu23thingssandbox.pbworks.com/w/page/64381396/TheThing. I also added my blog post to the FrontPage on the wiki.
I found the idea of easily publishing documents for others to view and contribute to as the interesting aspect of wikis. When I watched the YouTube video about wikis, the concept seemed quite simple and useful. However, after experiencing a wiki for the first time for myself, I may have to revise my thinking on that issue. It was not simple. I was lost the whole time I was on the wiki. The editing did not work like the YouTube video said it would. I think I may have accidentally deleted the previous post before mine. I completely agree with one of the links explaining wikis that mentioned how organized, OCD people may not like wikis because they are disorganized and easily changed! I believe I fit in that category.
There are many ways that a wiki could be used. If I ever did decide to use a wiki, it would most likely relate to my classroom and/or students in some way. Perhaps I could create a wiki to post information about the curriculum topics that I will cover in the classroom. Other people could post helpful tips or information that I could incorporate into my lesson. I would request that the informational comments be reinforced with research evidence.
