#17 Playing around with PBWiki

Listen to this podcast [1:53]-->powered by ODEO

"Sandbox" is the term that wikis often use to describe the area of the website that should be used for pure play.

For this discovery and exploration exercise, Helene Blowers at PLCMS has set up a whole Learning 2.0 Favorites wiki* that’s
for nothing but play!

For this “explore-and-play-with-wikis” exercise, you are asked to add your blog to this
PBwiki Learning 2.0 wiki.

The theme of this wiki is simply “Favorites” : Favorite books, favorite vacation spots, favorite restaurants, favorite anything …all you need to do is play and add your thoughts.
To mark your adventure on this site, you should add your blog to the Favorite Blogs page.

There are already a list of Blogs under AUSTRALIAN BLOGS

Discovery Resources:

• PB Wiki Tour - Find out how this collaborative tool can be used
• PBWiki Video Gallery - Short videos of PBwiki features
• PB Wiki Tips

Discovery Exercise:

1. Add your blog to the Favorite Blogs page. That's how we'll know that you've been there. It’s easy to do if you follow this simple syntax:
   
   Example:
   
   [ URL Title of blog]
   
   [ http://plcmclearning.blogspot.com Learning 2.0 ]

With brackets [ ] and just a little typing, you’ve added a link - yup, it’s as easy as that!


Create a post in your blog about the experience.

* NOTE: The PLCMCLearning Wiki was created using the free version of PBWiki, a tool that lets you create webpages that anyone can edit.
