Digital Text

   I explored three different links for Chapter 2.  One, MediWiki which is the software that Wikipedia uses to run its site.  I could use this to create a wiki site for my classroom that can become a great resource. Second, I looked at Wikispaces which is the software that Dr.Theresa and Dr. Grace both use to manage their classes.  I can also use this in a similar fashion as Dr. Grace and Theresa and make it a way to manage my classes.  Also, I could use it to create a WebQuest.   Lastly, I picked this very site, Blogger because I have spent a lot of time on it between Dr. Grace's and Dr. Theresa's class.  This can be used to see how my students felt about each class and show what they have learned or disliked.
   MediWiki is easy to navigate.  It gives you a sidebar, links (or tabs), and user links.  The sidebar gives you easy of use to get up and down the page.  Links (or tabs) also make it easier to navigate on one page and even get to other pages.  User links is a collection of personal links on your own page. Wikispaces provides that same type of service except you can upload documents pictures, and video to it!  Blogger is easy to setup and use.  Yu can tag any post you want and the site will automatically keep track of which blogs have the same tags.  Its a great way to organize your thoughts and posts!  You can make it as public or private as you wish as well!
