Wiki Research

Aloha fellow bloggers! For those of you that do not know what "aloha" is...it's "hello" in Hawaiian! While we're at it, let's expand further on our Hawaiian ability, "wiki wiki" means quickly! Many of you have probably heard of "WikiHow" or "Wikipedia". Glad you've heard that little fun fact, now it's time for the important stuff! How exactly can we use a wiki in our daily educational career?

• With a wiki, it enables us to work in collaboration which is beneficial! To further expand, you could post certain projects or assignments for collaborative proofreading or possession of an idea!
• The benefits of creating a wiki would be to have other opinions in order to help your work progress to a further level of excellence!
• When having a wiki within class, we could use it on an on-going basis by having some sort of revision weekly within the class! (example: one person must revise three different people with no more than three revisions)
• Unfortunately, I do not have any prior experience creating wikis. However, by creating one, I believe it'd be a great in-class experience!

 What I Did Over The Weekend in a Nutshell!

Over my four-day weekend, I managed to accomplish much more than expected. Although I spent a majority of my weekend buried with homework assignments, I also visited my father's side of the family. The greatest part when visiting my dad's relatives was meeting my cousin's new baby girl! However, despite how adorable she was, there was a greater accomplishment, I managed to launch my own organization, Provoke Prosperity. On Saturday, I spent most of my day at the Hoboken Shelter where I represented Provoke Prosperity while helping the needy create and expand on job resumes. With launching Provoke Prosperity on Saturday, I also taught them the importance of networking and applying themselves. It was all inspired by a speech of success and desire!
