Thing 10 - Create Your Own Wiki

For my wiki, I decided to make a page with goals that we would like to meet in our school counseling office in 2010. I am definitely the list-making type of person, so I can see myself really getting into something like this. I like how it could be a place where my partner-counselor and I could communicate our ideas to each other all on one page. It seems like I have a bunch of sticky-notes or short emails to her, but those tend to get lost in the shuffle. Having a wiki would allow us to easily keep all of our ideas together, and add on when needed. I thought it was very easy to get started, and found myself liking the idea of a wiki much more once I was actually creating one. I could see maybe using a wiki as a form of a needs-assessment for our school too. I am always interested in hearing what teachers and students think are areas of need from the counselors, and this would allow people to quickly communicate those ideas. Again, it would be ideal because other people could see what their co-workers have written, and could then add on more comments or input to the idea. It seems so much more efficient than sending out a billion emails and trying to convey everyone's ideas in a clear manner.
