Wicked Wiki

I've used Wikis before in class, but in those cases all we had to do was add vocabulary words.  I've used wikipedia as well, but I can't say I have always cared for it.  It's nice for quick information, but there is no certainty that the information provided in the free site is accurate.  I've supplemented the information I've gathered, but I refuse to use it for school or legitimate research.

The wiki assignment was horribly confusing.  I had planned on writing on Friday, but hadn't figured out this assignment yet.  It's taken two more days.  I'm still confused because all I've managed to do is look up texts that are apparently not in any library in the Ivy Tech database.  There's no way that's accurate.  Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, but I haven't any idea what.  On the plus side of this crazy week I learned how to add pictures to my blog so now they won't be so barren.  I'll keep at the whole thing, but I have a bad feeling I'll be running behind for awhile.  Anybody have any ideas I am all for it.

So the picture I chose seems completely random.  It's not and here's why.  Water helps me relax and after fighting with this thing for the last few hours I needed something to help me stay sane.  Hopefully others find it cheerful as well.

  1. First let me start by saying, I love the picture. It is very peaceful and goes well with your color scheme. When looking for articles for the Wiki pay attention under the title where it was found. If it say Ebsco host or WebJunction then just look there, if it has a link click on it. WorldCat was much easier to find items on. I think he just want to know we can find something. If you can't find what you are looking for by title, search by author. I had to do that for some and it was much easier.
