Ok so it is time to try a wiki in another source than Moodle. I decided to invest the time in Mark Wagner's video. It was time well spent, because as I watched and listened to his presentation, I created my own wiki at www.EGRHSAPBIO.wikispaces.com It was great to just go along with him and go step by step. I often got ahead of him as the site really is intuitive. So I already have a wiki started for the Fall and will just add to it as we go through the year.
It was really easy to set up the wiki. I'm glad I used Wagner's video though as he went into some of the topics that I wouldn't have done in just setting up the wiki. The history feature is really important. The many ways to change the wiki were interesting and I used a few as he went through the process (I changed the name already!).
It's interesting to see that since he's done his video, wikispaces has already changed the way it looks and the way the settings look. It now uses words and icons whereas earlier it only had words with links. (Makes me wonder if we're becoming a more graphic oriented society.)
