Week 3 - Level 3 WIKIS

Visit the NJLA Wiki and explore the CSS Pages and Files

Now that we have learned about social bookmarking and how we can use it to enhance our crafts and programs, let's take a look at wikis and how we can use them for the same purpose. What is a wiki? A wiki is a Web site that allows users to add and update content on the site using their own Web browser. View this video from Common Craft to see how wikis work: Wikis in Plain English.

For an example of a wiki that is relevant to all of us, visit the NJLA Wiki and take a look around. Be sure to check out the Children's Services Pages and Files (under "Navigator"). You can click on Children's Service once to see a small list of items added to this wiki, then again for a larger view. We recommend viewing the larger view, then selecting "Last Changed" so that you can see the most current information that has been posted.

Level 3 Excersise:

Tell us what you think of the NJLA wiki and the CSS pages. Did you find anything useful you will be able to use professionally? Was the wiki difficult to navigate? Blog about the experience and your feelings on this wiki, and other wikis if you choose.
