Resource Wiki

Completing the Resource Wiki was a relatively simple, yet helpful, productive assignment.  Before beginning the assignment, I was worried that I may grow frustrated with the task.  In PBWorks, only one member can edit a page at a time.  I thought that this limitation may prove irritating due to the fact that this project required lots of collaborative effort.  However, because we had plenty of time to complete the project, this limitation never really affected me personally.

Honestly, I encountered the most difficulty in attempting to find good websites.  There are many websites out there that claim to be educational.  Finding one that is actually educational, accurate, aesthetically pleasing, and age-appropriate proved a challenge.

Because it is challenging to find good websites for students, I am grateful for the result of this project.  Each team member searched for good, educational sites and linked those sites to the Resource Wiki.  I now have easy access to many websites that were hand selected by future teachers.  I really like the idea of having a categorized archive of sites at my fingertips.

In fact, I plan to create another, personal Resource Wiki.  I plan to copy and paste all of the links and annotations found on the collaborative Wiki to a new Wiki.  I will add to this new Wiki as I discover more applicable websites.  When I do become a teacher, I predict that I will frequently access this Wiki and use these websites to supplement my lessons.
