Wiki Lab

            I now realize that I probably should have added to a topic regarding education, but that did not occur to me until after I added to the Wikipedia article about raspberries. You see, I started the South Beach diet earlier this year and have since lost about twenty five pounds. During that time, I learned that the raspberry as one of the lowest glycemic loads when it comes to fruits. So, I found a webpage stating such and used it as a reference for my wiki fact. A screenshot is included below.

I created a wiki where parents can ask and answer each other’s questions regarding concerts and things they must order for their students. Linked to the main page is a page with any forms parents may need. I also created a page called Fun Stuff which houses a couple of widgets. I simply added this page just to use that feature because I hadn’t used them anywhere else yet. In the future, I plan to use them in better places. My new wiki can be found HERE.

I plan on adding to the “Idea Exchange for the EduTech Certificate Program” as soon as they accept me as a member. In the meantime, here is my entry:

Moyea: Moyea is a video file converter that successfully converts Jing files (swf) to a format that can easily be uploaded to youtube or any video editing program.

The reason this is important is because the free version of Jing does not allow you to upload directly to youtube. It also does not convert with most file converter programs. You end up with a video file that can only be shared via screencast. This allows teachers to create tutorials for their students that they can easily edit or upload wherever they wish.
