Thing 10-Create Your Own Wiki

I have successfully created my first Wiki named "Band-FirstYear". The creative quote is one which I created and placed in the header. "Beginning Band from the Beginning" is the absolute truth about my job. The first day of class is devoted to care and maintenance of the instrument. Next, students learn how to open their cases correctly and produce their first sound on the mouthpiece.

Creating and editing the wiki was easy for me. The hard part was learning what a wiki is and how to create/edit one in Thing 9. I created the "Band-FirstYear" wiki in wikispaces.com because I was the most familiar with it from explorations during Thing 9.

In my wiki, I have already added Web-sites that explain good practice habits. I also added a link to a MENC (Music Educators National Conference) forum for band directors. I will continue to add to the "Band-FirstYear" wiki.

  1. I had a little idea of how to do a wiki after seeing it used in a MACUL training I did. In my Thing 10 post I noted that it was easy to make with a learning curve of about 10-15 minutes for the details.
