Thing # 22

I tried several times to add an image to the 23things wiki but wasn't too successful. The image showed up in the preview but when I clicked save, all it showed was the image name. I tried following the directions in the video, but didn't have much luck. I was able to add text without any problem though. When I created my own wiki, I made the photo a jpg image and didn't have any trouble adding it. Maybe I should have tried that with the 23things wiki.

I created a wiki to track the observations of our monarch caterpillars this fall. The wiki is in the beginning stages. I would like to add additional pages with resources for students and families about the monarch's fall migration along with some good books to find at the town library, both fiction and nonfiction. I am hoping to add a comments page where families can leave a comment about what they are reading. It took me a while to set up the wiki but once I get the hang of it, I it was not so hard to do. I think this is going to be so motivating for the students.  Monarchs In Room #3

The blogs that I have explored are mainly personal accounts of the author's experiences. They are usually written by one author and serve as an online journal. The opinions shared are mainly by the author of the blog. Comments may be exchanged with the author but seem to be limited to a small group of people with the same interests. A wiki may be created by one person but is edited by several authors who add many different opinions, and post many resources. The wiki seems to be a good way to gather several resources on a topic.
