1. How can a wiki be used a current class on your schedule (not this course)? Pick a class and be specific how the class could create and use a Wiki on a regular basis (tip: Use the Internet, here is a good source).

          In my english class, a wiki can be used to create study guides and notes for Great                                         Expectations, since it is the book that we are currently reading. With a wiki, we can all add                           information to the study guides and correct each other which is important.

Over the Weekend...

This past weekend I did a few things. I slept in late, got my flu shot, as well as made m confirmation. I really enjoyed sleeping in, because I was tired from getting up early for school. I hate getting shots, but sadly I had to get my flu shot. Then, my confirmation was very special and I am glad that I could celebrate with my family on Saturday.
