wiki... wacky....woo!

I am in the process of contemplating creating a SMARTBoard Wiki to be used by North Country School districts as they integrate SMARTBoards into their daily curriculum.
But as I read the information, i hear "whaw, whaw, whaw, whaw!" (* in the teacher voice from Charlie Brown*) WOW!! I am feeling totally inadequate for the task as hand. I guess I need to figure out what I need and then proceed from there.

The one thing I have been able to pick up on: WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get

Other stuff = PHP, shell/root access, MySQL!!????

Okay....I guess I need help!!!

LiveBinders



One of my FAVorite finds of the summer (thanks to Barb NR) is LiveBinders. This Web 2.0 tool allows educators to create online binders as a way to organize websites, videos, pdfs, images into subject areas, topics, units....whatever structure you desire!

It is free, requires registration, but you can make as many binders as you want.
Think online resources that a team of teachers could collaborate on to create units or to organize their online data!
