History of the Wiki - Ward Cunningham

Our team presentation will focus on wikis. The team has broken down the tasks and my first major focus is on the history of the Wiki. The founder Ward Cunningham has placed a very useful website that explains his journey and interesting naming of Wiki at: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki

In addition, a video interviewing Ward can be found at:

If you are not able to access the video the written interview can be found at

  2. Hi Jim,

    I amazed at the amount of information that I do know about some of the technology tools that we have been discussing. I am just as amazed at the amount that I need to learn to ensure that the content in my courses do not get "lost in translation" when I begin to request that my students begin to use them.

    I did get some new information from the morning sessions and enjoyed the opportunity to work with my group to work on our presentation for tomorrow morning. I really look forward to seeing what you and the other participants share about the other technology tools.

    See you in the morning...
