Everyone has heard of Wikipedia... But I am assuming not everyone fully understood what it was and why it had it's name. I recently found out that a "wiki" is basically a huge blog. It is a website that many people can work on and edit/add to.
I have been invited to NASPA to present the Leadership Institute that Bridgewater State College puts on. We are going to present the new cutting edge style we used of podcasting the seminars and allowing a more flexible style, built for the busy college student. Since there are 4 people from different offices and including off campus working on this project there is a wiki setup for communication purposes.
The Director of Student Involvement and Leadership, Cindy Kane, was the person who pushed this idea forward. She asked for the help of the vocal stylings of Micheal Miller who is a professional speaker. She also needed the support of her higher ups, Cathy Holbrook in the Student Affairs office. These are the three other people who are participating in this new wiki that i am subscribing to.
When i first blogged for 396 I said that I had never blogged before and never thought I would. Now between 396, 496, and this new wiki thing. I am blogging left and right. It is almost scary how open the internet is making our social life. At the same time it is fascinating that we can be connected to people long distance at any moment through blog.
I was just introduced to this yesterday so I will post again how it works out for me.
