Week #7 - Wikis

Despite the pressures of time (see my previous rant), I'm really glad I have taken on this course, as so much of what we have covered I will keep using. Just about all my bookmarks are now on del.icio.us (very timely, as I worked at Tongala branch Saturday, needed one of my sites and found it quickly using del.icio.us - thanks!), and I really enjoyed the wikis this week. I loved the Book Lovers Wiki from Princeton Public Library and would like to do something similar for us - it would be fantastic for readers advice. My main reservation is the lack of control (yes, OK, control-freak tendencies here) but being able to restrict access and track changes would help prevent abuse or inappropriate use. I have browsed through several of the wiki hosts and it would certainly be possible to set something up. I shall cogitate further.

I have succesfully managed to link my blog into the Learning 2.0 wiki - shall have to check that I am not getting all the update e-mails - think I may have neglected to untick the notify box. Ooops!

Ok, the phone has rung again - that was my FIFTH phone call while typing this - I think I had better give up for now.....
