So, I must be honest in saying that I always considered wikipedia as somewhat of a fluke. This may be because my college professors always cursed at any mention of the site. But after taking the time to explore what it has to offer... I think it's a neat site that seems to run best off of collaboration as just about anyone can add to a page. I was surprised to see that the school I have worked at already had a page! I looked over the page for Fostoria High School and it seems to be very basic, yet accurate. I took the liberty of adding in a few external links. One to the school calendar so site visitors can look at upcoming events, and another link to the high school's actual webpage.
I then set-up a wiki of my own:

I look forward to using this wikispace as another platform in which I can keep in contact with my students.

I'm still working on getting a screen shot up of the additions I made to my high school's wikipedia page... any tips?!! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThe one trick I found was that it will NOT print to your blog diectly. I had to save my screen shot in a Word file or as an image and then attach it into my blog. I bet this is what is happening to you. I just figured it out by banging my head against a wall!
ReplyDeleteOh Nooo!! Yea, I attempted for awhile and then decided to give it a rest before I got to that point! : ) I'll keep at it. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteWell.. in the meantime let me atleast post a link to it:
