WIKI ME SOMETHING DELICIOUS PROJECT DUE SEPT. 10

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.

Social Bookmarking Using Delicious.com

Bookmarking is a way of saving websites you have browsed and found important enough to save. What makes it social is that we are going to save our bookmarks to the web where others can see what we have bookmarked.

To do this, we will be using delicious.com. It is a good site to use for this because it is free and because it is on the internet we can access it from any computer that has the internet. It is also good to use because it allows us to take notes on each site.

Directions:
1. Go to Delicious.com
2. Join Now
