Last word on wikis

Okay, enough about wikis all ready!  But I just wanted to say designing/developing and managing a wiki is extremely simple.  They also make a great "shell" to display other work.  The IP 10's and 20's now ask if they can add completed assignments to their spaces.  It is an easy way to mark their work- all in one place - no need to dig through several folders etc to find the correct files.  They have added animated gifs made in fireworks, items from flash-gear such as puzzles, and moving eyes.  Also, those "loose" last few minutes of class are good for designing avatars (meez.com) which can also be embedded onto their space.  They can put up ppts, images - any file really.  So I am finding that although I thought it was a one-two class assignment we continue to add items as the year goes on- a great display case for their work.
