I've reconnected with a few former colleagues in Portland. Ward Cunningham has turned wiki in on itself as Federated Wiki and I'm trying to become part of his "we."
Speakers at boy scout events frequently used a metaphor of a sponge to describe the process of acquiring knowledge and releasing knowledge. I have been remiss in sharing my learnings.
When Ward first described to me the Federated Wiki, I immediately wondered how wiki might fit into my cousin's third grade class.
With the new school year and support of Ward, my cousin Pam Edens and I are introducing Federated Wiki into her classroom.
For me, this is the beginning of volunteering and sharing.
