Goodbye PBWiki - Hello PBWorks

PBWiki has announced a name change to PBWorks.


If you created a wiki in PBWiki, it has a new name and address. See the FAQs. Yes, your old address should work, but you might want to make note of the change--especially if you are linking to it from your portfolio.

I'm glad they waited until your final project was due and graded!

PBWiki Enhancements

PBWiki announced some enhancements to their wiki software today:

• Starred Pages- Bookmark all important wiki pages and create a personal list of information that is important to you.
• Send a Link- Tell other members of your team that you’ve updated the workspace, or to call them to review, comment, or edit the page.
• Navigator- Quickly navigate to any folder, and browse all pages on your wiki. Also a quick way to view your Starred Pages.
• Threaded Comments (Premium Feature)- Now you can reply to comments!

Enjoy!

Reminder: Wiki Webinar Coming Up! (Teacher Wiki Coming Up, Too!)

Project #3 is a teacher wiki. You'll also be using a wiki for your final project. The course contains some links to tutorials, but there is an opportunity coming up that you might want to take advantage of:

You are cordially invited to a live online presentation (a webinar) called "PBwiki 101: Your Guide to Wiki Basics." This webinar takes place on Wednesday, March 4th at 1pm EST / 10am PST. Sign up for the free webinar here.

For your projects you can use PBwiki, Wikispaces, or WetPaint. Your choice. Sometimes seeing and hearing someone demonstrate the features can be helpful and can extend your online learning!
