#16- Learning 2.0 Sandbox Wiki
I liked playing in the sandbox. It reminded me of Facebook, or as my mother-in-law calls it, Spacebook. It was fun to see people's favorites and add my own. I liked the little guessing game of who added what, although sometimes it might be nice to know whose favorite is whose. I am not sure who really has the time to just sit and play in sandboxes, but I guess if it were a relevant sandbox that made working or a library site a fun, helpful, accessible site, then maybe.
Wiki Wiki Wiki - Library Thing 15
Wiki just makes me think of Wikipedia which makes me think of misinformation, so I am definitely not for using a wiki as an authoritative source for a kid's term paper or such. I also, like Melissa, think that Wikis are ugly and confusing to follow. That said, I think the Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki had some helpful ideas. I don't like the libraries that seem to use the wikis like a homepage. Wikis are just not user friendly for this purpose. It continues to make me nervous that anyone can post anything to a wiki, whether it is true or not.
