Thing 10 - PBWiki

This Thing hasn't been so straightforward. I don't find it particularly intuitive and am not altogether sure that I have the 'hang of it'. A working screencast would have been helpful (and the demo didn't show you how to do it just how it could be used in a school environment). At this stage I don't have anyone to share my wiki with (if you would like to then click here - it's about planning for a walking holiday in France) but am prepared to believe that it will allow me to do the following:

Easily share files with users
Set access controls for pages and folders
Monitor who’s changed each page
Email notifications keep everyone up to date
Quickly add others to the project

I'm going to keep experimenting and will ask questions of those 'in the know'(calling all experts out there!).

Postscript: I've now spent more time on my wiki and know a lot more about it. Still waiting to share with others though (have invited several - you know who you are!!). Have a look here if you'd like to share your knowledge on walking holidays, even if not in France.
