Wiki Me Something Delicious
Project Description: We are going to make a Wiki using Wikispaces.com. We are also going to cite where we got our information by using the Social Bookmarking site called Delicious.com. Topic is of your choice, but the purpose of this project is to learn how to cite, research, and display information on the internet.
What is a Wiki? A Wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor. In other words, it is a easy to make web page for users of the internet. It also allows more than one internet user to edit the page at once, making a Wiki a collaborative tool for creating web based media.
Why would we use a Wiki? Well for starters, a lot of us are familiar with Wikipedia. Most of us are familiar with this site because a lot of us go there for answers about random questions and etc. Wikipedia, however, is a site not developed by professional web designers, but more accurately, a site designed by internet users who are really interested in a particular topic and are able to share a little bit of their knowledge by adding to the Wiki.
How can we be sure the information on a Wiki is correct? The simple answer is we cannot, but for the most part the information is because many people edit Wiki pages at a time and users constantly check recently added material’s accuracy, fixing misinformation.
