Wiki Use
I have used wiki’s for many of my classes to share thoughts and ideas, but I have never created a wiki space for my own personal use. I really like having my own wiki space because you have the opportunity to do whatever you want with an infinite amount of space. The wiki space allows you to add files, pictures, videos, widgets, tables, and many more. I like wiki spaces as compared to a blog or a weebly because you are allowed to have as many pages on your account as you want. For examples if you needed a wiki for your first, third, and fourth hour each class can have their own page that only they can see, but the teacher has access to all three hours on their home page. The other advantage to using a wiki is that as many people can access it as possible. In order to edit the wiki the person has to be invited by e-mail so not just anyone can revise the wiki. I liked this because on google docs anyone can access and edit the page and the information may not be valid or correct. With the wiki no one can edit the page without the teacher’s consent. I like using the wiki and am glad I got the chance to explore it more than just using it for a TE class.

I think wikis are a great tool as well, and I have been using them in my TE classes but I am still having some problems with them. I find them to be confusing at times and I have troubles maneuvering through them even though I have worked with them multiple times.I suppose it will just take some time getting used to because I think they are a great tool to use and I want to use them in the future.
