Creating a Wiki

Today I began working on a new side project. It's a wiki! I am using a template called TikiWiki. I decided to host the wiki myself instead of using a free platform as it would be a great learning experience and I liked the ability to have total control when editing the wiki. My target users are teachers, parents, and students. The purpose of the site will be to post lesson plans or activities students can use when working with a tiny computer called a Pico Cricket. As a Women in Computing Ambassador I was responsible for making mini games with Pico Crickets. Making the games were fun, but I began to realize that there wasn't a specific source that included plenty of options to use the Pico Cricket. So here I am today creating wiki to do just that! Once the wiki is set-up I will be emailing schools and websites that have posted one or two lesson plans and ask if they can post to my site. Collaboration is key, so I am excited to see where this venture will go. I will keep you posted :D
