The technoLOTE wiki is now up and running! A wiki is a website that anyone can edit, which makes it a great tool for collecting resources and collaborative projects. Here is a short video from the Common Craft Show that explains exactly what wikis are:
I used Wikispaces for the technoLOTE wiki. Other free wiki sites are Wetpaint and PBWiki. I find Wikispaces easy to use and very well supported. Wetpaint are also great and very user-friendly. I have never used PBWiki.
The aims of the technoLOTE wiki are for it to be a place where technoLOTE readers can share project ideas and files and anything else you like, and for those of you who are interested to have a go at using an existing wiki. You can create a new page or add a link to an existing page. It would be a great place to put your unit ideas etc if that’s what you want to share. I’ve made a page for IWB Ideas and files and will put my SMART Notebook files there for you all to download.
Follow this link to find some short tutorial videos on how to use Wikispaces.
You can get to the wiki by clicking on the ‘Wiki’ page tab at the top of the page. It will take you straight to it. Have a look, leave something for all of us, and let me know what you think. If you need some help using it, please let me know.
Don’t forget that as part of the technoLOTE community you can share videos, bookmarks, images and conversation. Check out this post that tells you where you can do all those things:
