Week 7

All right so as mentioned in my last post, I have decided to use PBworks for my Personal Technology Project. Now for the problems, I did have initial problems adding users, but I think that was because I was trying to log in from the same computer. It kept automatically logging me in with the original email address, so I wouldn't let me sign out and set up another account. But, I figured out the bugs by just starting up with a new email browser, so my students--even if using the same comptuer at school--shouldn't have problems I had. Now PBworks is surprisingly easy! Wow. I was impressed. Basically its edit, write, save. That's it. It's perfect for working a group project because up to 100 users can have access to the same wiki. Its really easy to create new pages for different sections of the project, it as a comment button so people not only can edit what is being written but comment on ideas or suggestions in a separate place. I am really excited about creating a lesson plan. I will definitely encourage my students to use this for group projects. It's a thousand times easier than email. In fact, I have a group project coming up for one of my classes here at BYU and I suggested we use a wiki because its so much easier, especially since we're all so busy to find time to meet together. Its kind of like a working meeting. I love it.
