The world of wiki and I have been in a rollercoaster relationship over the last week or so since this assignment was given to us. I started by not knowing anything about what a wiki was; to now fully understanding how they can be utilized. O'Reilly's article really put into the non-wiki users terms by explaining the difference between what the web once was, and what the web has become. In a way, I feel like the internet has grown up with me over the years. It's amazing to think about my elementary days where the simplest of programs were so unique, never in a million years would I have thought about tagging a bunch of friends in a picture. That would have been foreign language to someone back in 1995. Now, it's something we do in our everyday lives! Wikis allow us to make changes and update information. Being a terrible peer evaluator to this day, it is extremely hard for me to truly grasp and utilize wikis if it means I have to evaluate another individuals performance. Unless something is set in stone on how it's supposed to be (in addition to my interest in the topic), it is useless to me as a tool for evaluation. On the other hand, for educators I feel wiki's can be a very useful tool. Below you can find the link to my restructured wiki.
After some review, I realize I did this assignment wrong. I had the right idea, but thankfully it was pointed out and revisions have been made and further elaboration on the article has been successfully added to my Wiki. You can view this by clicking here.
