Wikis

I have very mixed feeling about using wikis after using it to create my pathfinder. I like the layout we used for this class, but I really preferred using Sharepoint (Frontpage) to make an actual web page in html in our other class. This was a lot simpler for the assignment, but rather restrictive since it didn't allow for the embedding of videos or really designing an appealing layout for the page. If I were doing it in my library, I would prefer to take the extra time to build the site to host on the school server instead of using a 3rd party wiki site for hosting. I want students to be drawn in visually, and then hopefully they can value the site for its functionality! They are definitely a tool I would suggest to non-tech savvy teachers to use, or in a setting where collaboration is needed, but for my personal pages, I want the freedom to be me.
