Uses for a Wiki - Some things to try
I can see that you each have ideas about how you would like to use your wiki. Here are some ideas:
 * 1) **__Collaboration__** - A wiki is well-suited for collaboration - many people can contribute without being in the same place. Examples would be a committee that is writing a paper, news article, or a report together. This works for students and teachers alike. I worked on a federal project a couple of years with some team members in other states. **//TRY: add something to this page, or to one of your colleagues' pages linked below.//**
 * 2) **__Collecting ideas__** - Here is a wiki created by a group of adult educators from around the world interested in mobile learning, or m-learning. It started out as a small group like this. They decided to start collecting all the ideas they were discovering for using cell phones and other mobile devices for learning, and the result is this mlearning wiki . **//TRY: Go to this//** sharing ideas**//page on our site and add an idea or two about how you want to use a wiki.//**
 * 3) **__Sharing information__** that needs to be updated frequently - In California we are having major budget cuts to school districts, which is drastically affecting adult education. We created a wiki to link to news articles about budget cuts at the local level. New articles come in all the time. Some people email them to us, and some add the links themselves. We have oversight of the page and try to keep the formatting somewhat uniform so that it's easy to find a particular agency. The Table of Contents on the right is generated automatically by Wikispaces. We added it by clicking on Widget in the editing bar, and choosing Table of Contents. It is pulling all the items that are formatted as headings. **//TRY: Add some headings to your page, and then add a Table of Contents from the Widget collection.
