Icky Wiki: Art Wiki




When I first found out I was going to be doing a wiki page I was really excited. Especially an Art wiki that I could control and that other people would be assisting in updating. However, this adventure turned sour. The wiki itself was pretty easy to use, however, the time and effort I spent in the wiki seemed futile when it was either changed or left undone by the other members.

Setting up the page went great, adding the pictures and content. I learned a lot about linking and annotations. It was depending on the other members to follow the same format, or to even seem interested in making a good wiki, that became frustrating.

Next time I would have members that I know who would treat the wiki seriously. I would love to use this in my classroom or even just among other art teachers. I know that once I am out in the professional world that I will find people who will be able to check their own errors, and make actual contributions to make the page useful and fun. However, for now I did not like this assignment. I give this assignment a 2.5 stars out of five
