Building/Editing a Wiki

I edited the class wiki about Shuen, which had already been started by other people in the class. I thought that the summery was pretty good, but I made a few changes to the way it was written without changing the meaning, and added a few sentences. I also added a list of contents, because I saw that some other people had added lists of contents to some of the other class wikis. It wasn't hard to make an entry, though if I had wanted to make a new entry that hadnt already been started I would not have known how to begin it. I'm not sure I would call it an opportunity for social interaction, but I would absolutely find this to be a useful way to use cicada. We had something like this for one of my high school classes, except that people would use it to define key words in the reading. I found it very useful when I did not feel like I had a full grasp on the assignments, and I think that the class wiki could be very similar. I like that they offer short summaries of each of the books.
