Project Play Week 9

I like how easy it is to share ideas with a Wiki. If I had known about this when I was going to school it probably would have made some assignments a lot easier! It reminds me a lot of Google docs, except that the users in Wikis have the choice to make it public or not. It is so much better than sending emails to a group of people and then getting a response and trying to coordinate meeting times, assignment details, etc.

I really like thecommoncraftshow videos by Lee LeFever! He has made things so simple to understand. I think the videos add a lot to my understanding of the topic we are talking about.

I'm not quite sure how to use a wiki in the library yet. I work in the children's area and it is difficult to know how to use it with kids.

I had fun playing around with Wikipedia. I added a link to our library's homepage and then I decided to take it off because our website is difficult to use. I didn't want to direct someone to hard to use information. I know it frustrates me when this happens.

Wow! It's hard to believe the semester of Project Play is almost over - it's gone by so fast!

Yeah, the Common Craft videos are great, aren't they? He just made a new one about blogs:
