THING 10 - WIKI
C. Reflect - Blog Prompts for Thing 10
Describe a wiki you found that inspires you to create one of your own.
I found a wiki describing HOW TO DO VIBRATO on the violin. I have seen VIDEOS of how to vibrate on the violin. I can see a wiki site as a 'meeting place' where I can post 'things to remember about the violin' as it relates to playing/practicing violin.
What hurdles might stand in the way of your using a wiki? Firstly, not everyone HAS a computer, much less on line, or otherwise.
What would it take to remove the hurdles?Be that as it may, they will be inspired to go to the library, if they have to, to participate.
Is it worth the fight? of COURSE it's worth the fight. I am on the phone with a friend (as I type this) who is asking me why I would want to do this and why would SHE want a blog or wiki. Yes! Continuing education, learning new things, and I like doing this! I have a purpose and would create one if I didn't
