Happy New Year for 2010 from Useful Wiki and the Usefulwiki Blog.
In 2009 we moved from generic hosting to a local UK host and we’re pleased with that move so far. The theatre breaks blog is running much more smoothly under the hood.
I’ve no idea what 2010 holds for us, but it’s going to be fun!
The technical setup for usefulwiki is probably settled now for a while, and the main process is that of beginning to accumulate the first few sections of useful content, and the building of relationships and links with the first few individuals who are becoming inspired to contribute.
The wiki began with a section on Better Reading Partners , a scheme to encourage child readers who are mildly struggling.
To date we have some interesting notes on Project Based learning which arose from a conference seminar which Linda attended, the beginning of a very useful collection of resources on Practical Literacy Ideas and now some expert information and practical resources on the topic of Autism from “ultramum”.
There are several more new topics in the pipeline as well, with new people showing an interest in contributing some of their own resources, an act from which benefits both the contributor and the wider readership from now and into the future.
