Before last class, I didn't know about Wikis. I did know that there was something called wikipedia, and in fact I have used it for little research assignments. I thought it was really funny how you can actually see where there are people arguing because they didn't agree on the same thing and just had totally different opinions. This is just one of those things that you shouldn't be looking at if you get offended easily. It's a public website and everyone and anyone can read it, and even change it. Personally, I think this is the best cite for sciences and technology, since these are the main subjects that are constantly changing.
Filamentality was a fun assignment to work on. A bit frustrating, at times, but overall fun and pretty easy. Click on the link below and check it out. The student worksheet to do with this was also really fun. I can't wait to do my own for my class. http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/listwatercycs.html

I had no idea what wiki or wikipedia was before class last week, but now I see that they are each a great resource for teachers and students.
Ok so I had known about wikipedia but I did not know that you could actually go in an alter the info. In a way it is good but in a way it is scary because who knows who made what up? I definitely like the way you can collaborate on iy though, that's pretty cool.
