Making Progress

I haven't been very good at journaling on this blog spot...just not something that I'm used to I guess.
I've spent some time reading articles about the use of a wiki page in education, and I do believe that a wiki could be very effective as tool for enhancing the educational experience - especially for young people who seem to prefer to spend time online rather than taking a traditional approach to studying.
My purpose for the wiki that I created was to provide a forum for my colleagues to share their thoughts and ideas for building a policy and procedure manual. I've been working very diligently on a web page for storage and access to the policies, and have been making a lot of progress. I must admit that I've been reluctant to invite my co-workers to visit the wiki - but I'm going to take the plunge and send an email later today. I'm a bit skeptical as to whether it will truly be useful since I work in a very conservative environment, but you never know!
