Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Thing 21-Wiki

So to be honest I really only looked around at a few of these because I already have a wiki and I love it. Last year, Brian Hartley ran a wiki PD for our department and it was amazing. I previously had used a web page and never seemed to be able to keep it update and it never seemed to be able to hold all the information that I really wanted it to. Well then I fell in love with Wiki's. They allow me to post all information that I need up on the web in an easy to find fashion. What I love most is that it is one stop shopping for students. I keep information about upcoming events, how to access your online book, and I also have all the documents that I have handed out in class for students to download at home should they have lost what I gave them in class. I think that wiki's are a helpful tool for both parents and students. As far as my direct inspiration of course it would be Hartley's wiki but also Ashley Muraca had kept an amazing wiki that she even embeds videos for her students to watch along with study tips etc.

Yes -- I worked with both of them this past year and the students definitely were into it.
