Want to start a wiki project for work, school, or whatever, but don't know which engine is right for you? Chris Craft pointed me in the direction of wikimatrix.org. Wikimatrix is a slick way to compare wiki solutions, whether you want something free, or commercial, hosted by you or someone else. Rather than have you just stare at a huge list until your eyes stop focusing, they have a wizard that takes you through the options you may or may not want and narrows down the list as you go.
Of course I quickly ruled out every wiki ever made, but that was my own dumb fault.
It's come to my attention that you may be visiting this site from a great online resource over at mhmsmedia.wikispaces.com. Welcome!
You may want to know that this site is mostly for random links that I find lying around out there on the internet that have to do with art, education, technology, or anything in between. I tag most of my posts here so it's easy to find things later on.
If you want to see more involved content from me (or my podcasts), I would check out my main website over at AcademicAesthetic.com.
The biggest problem with editing a wiki is learning what all that code means. I can do it, but many students have trouble.
According to Chris Craft, bitweaver might just be the solution for that.
I'm still looking for MICCA ideas, and now I have more time since PUWT '06 is over. As I was going through my neglected RSS feeds in an attempt to catch up I came across this:
The Social Web: Building Interactivity into Our Sites' Websites
I'm a fan of the stuff that Bud the Teacher has been doing, and this is no different. It's also very close to what I think I should be doing for MICCA.
Of course it's not a duplicate of what I want, but that's a good thing. If it was, then I would just be copying.
I'll be running workshops on PowerPoint design and blogging (& podcasting netcasting) at this weekend's Powering Up With Technology Conference, and I am looking forward to it, but I just got notice asking for presenters at this year's MICCA Convention and I don't want to do the same thing as last year.
So how about a workshop on two way teaching? The concept's been around for a while, but there are a lot of websites and other tools that can help make two way teaching a LOT easier.
Info:
K12 Online Conference Presentation on 2WT (The presentation that made me think this would be a good topic.)
Two Way Teaching Wiki (As of this posting it's very sparse, but could grow if it gets some help from others.)
