PBWiki : Learning 2.0

Listen to this podcast [1:53]-->powered by ODEO



Who has not enjoyed a PBJ?

Just as PBJs are fun, so too are Sandboxes!

"Sandbox" is the term that wikis often use to describe the area of the website that should be used for pure play. For this discovery and exploration exercise, we’ve set up a whole Learning 2.0 Favorites wiki* that’s for nothing but play!

For this “explore-and-play-with-wikis” exercise, you are asked to add an entry or two to the PBwiki Learning 2.0 wiki. The theme of this wiki is simply “Favorites” : Favorite books, favorite vacation spots, favorite restaurants, favorite anything …all you need to do is play and add your thoughts.

Discovery Resources:

• PB Wiki Demo - Find out how this collaborative tool can be used
  
• PBWiki Video Gallery - Short videos of PBwiki features
  
• PB Wiki Tips

Discovery Exercise:

1. Access the Learning 2.0 wiki and create a login account for yourself.
   
2. Add your blog to the Favourite Blogs page. That's how we'll know that you've been there. It’s easy to do if you follow this simple syntax:
   
   

   Example:
   
   [ URL Title of blog]
   
   [ http://plcmclearning.blogspot.com Learning 2.0 ]

   
   
   With brackets [ ] and just a little typing, you’ve added a link - yup, it’s as easy as that!
   
   OPTIONAL: Add a favourite or two to a few other pages (Favorite books, favorite vacation spot, etc). And, if you feel up to the challenge, you might even want to create a separate page for book review or short travel essay and link up to that.
   
   
3. Create a post in your blog about the experience.
