One of the most interesting wikis that I found was Teaching with Thinking and Technology. It piqued my interested because it relates directly to our exploration of technology. Anne Baird, the wiki host, aggregated all of the information that we have seen in 23 Things and included much more. While I enjoyed this wiki, it seemed to me a bit of a paradox. The wiki is supposed to foster the use of technology; however, it pales in comparison to wikis like Welker's Wikinomics, which utilizes an infinite amount of technology. Instead of implementing calendars and user feedback like Welker's, TTT was written primarily in boring script. The contrast between the two wikis showed me that Welker's Wiki is an example of the highest quality, while Baird's demonstrates the difficulty of achieving the most user-friendly page. Based on this exploration, I feel that a blog may be an easier medium to organize my classes... that is... until I further my programming and webmastering skills!
