Thing 16, the wicked wiki of the www
Wow! This is like Fort Knox unlocking the gates and flinging open the vaults. There's gold in them thar wikis. I'll get you my pretty and your web site, too! I'm wondering what our cousins "IT" think about wikis. I can certainly see the benefits of such a tool. It would make editing a page easy for the podlings within the pod, but unfortunately one doesn't have to be a podling to go in and change anything they want. I'm sure there has got to be a way (or is there) to prevent anyone from going to a site and completely trashing it. Does the creator of the site stand on a wall and shout "Nothing is going to happen to my site today, Not on MY wiki." I did find a great blog at the ACLA Youth Services site concerning children and literacy. Here is part of the blog from ACLA Youth Services site: If you want your children to read, read to them daily from an early age, give them great books, plenty of encouragement and the occasional kick up the backside. Switch off the screens half an hour before bedtime and send them to bed with a book. Most importantly, set an example and read yourself. There are volumes of difference between literacy levels and literature. Here is the link to their site.
