A Reflection on Wiki's and Websites

Hello again,

Just a quick post to reflect on Wiki's and websites.  Here is a link to my Weebly website, I spent a few minutes trying to do something interesting on this site but became frustrated by the limited nature of what is allowed with a free account and decided to give Google's offering another try.  This would prove to be my second unsuccessful attempt at making something useful from Google's free web hosting service, as I tried briefly about 18 months ago.  I gave up pretty quickly on both occasions because I found the service to be very un-user friendly, and obviously not designed to do what I wanted it to do.

After experimenting with both blogs and then Wiki's, I have decided that these two tools will be the focus of my attention for now.  This blog will record my educational journey in the form of multi-media postings and reflection, whereas my wiki, can be accessed by using this link.  The Wiki space has grown rapidly lately, why not check out what's new?  The pic below is a sample of what can be done with a $150 camera and MICE.  Here


I added this page today, which has some work I completed earlier using Photosynth.  It might be worth your while to have a look if you've not seen what Photosynth can do.  It almost makes me wish my specialisations were more arty so I could use some of these tools more extensively with my students..
