#17 Playing around with Wikispaces

“Sandbox” is the term that wikis often use to describe the area of the website that should be used for pure play. For this discovery and exploration exercise, we’ve set up a whole Evanston Library Learns Wiki* that’s for nothing but play!

For this “explore-and-play-with-wikis” exercise, you are asked to add an entry or two to the Evanston Library Learns Wiki.

The theme of this wiki is simply “Evanston” : Favorite places to eat, drink, shop, relax, play…in our town. All you need to do is add your thoughts.

Discovery Exercise:

1. Access the Evanston Library Learns Wiki and look around.
2. Add something to the site (click on “Edit this Page” and then type your additions and click “save”). Do you have advice about places in Evanston? Add it to the wiki!
3. Create a post in your blog about the experience. Can you think of other uses for wikis at the library?

* NOTE: The Evanston Library Learns Wiki was created using the free version of WikiSpaces, a tool that lets you create webpages that anyone can edit.
