Wiki Assignment

I created a Wiki for an upcoming kayak trip in June. The video tutorial inspired me to do so. The video mentioned problems that I've ran into trying to communicate via email and by phone. I created a page for listing items that we need and have (much like the video), one for a list of possible supplies, one for directions, and internet links to a river map, camground, and the outfitters. So I made a Wiki and invited the five guys I'll be going with. They'll probably make fun of me, and call me names for getting geeky, but it might save us some trouble.

I honestly can't remember what Google Docs was like; much like this I think. I imagine more people already have Google accounts, than one for this Wiki site. Though, setting up an account was not that hard. I remember that Google Docs allowed you to upload files directly into it. I don't think a Wiki page will do that. I had to copy and paste one of my files into the Wiki. Google Docs also allowed you to draw; I don't think you could do that in Wiki?

I think this would be a good site to post a problem of the week, and give students a place to discuss it. It might also be a good place for students to help each other with homework. Students could use it as a place to gather survey data for a project. I'm sure there are lots of other math applications out there. Cool site!
