To wiki or not to wiki . . . That is the question.

I've toyed with the idea of changing the direction of my project mid-stream toward creating a wiki for the teachers at Salem. I have done a little exploring and set up a sample wiki on wikispaces. It is truly pretty easy to set up. However, given that even using a delicious account is new for me, the librarian, and many of the teachers at Salem, I have decided to stay the course and continue working on my project in the same direction. The teachers are already having to adjust to the new technology of the smartboard. In our readings, we learned that it takes a while for groups, as a whole, to adjust to new technology and embrace it. So I don't think it would be most productive to introduce wiki contribution yet into this mix. I feel confident that this project would eventually be served well by a wiki, but for now, it is too soon. If I can sell teachers on delicious, it will be a great introduction to social cyber-sharing and should naturally lead toward the kind of participation needed for a successful wiki.
