Just spent 15 minutes reminding myself how to create wikis, in Moodle, from raw mark up language. It's like this:
Make the Wiki front page title surrounded by [ ]. When saved, there is a ? at the end of the title that you click on, and then you can put the rest of the wiki information in the page that follows. Simple when you know how.
REFLECTION: using Google is so much easier and quicker to learn about any web 2.0 technique, although one has to trawl for some time. Learning really is about jumping into the dark, making mistakes and recording all outcomes. There is no point in being scared or panicking. Being confused and feeling 'thick' is part of the learning process, and the bits will not fall into place at once... sometimes the bits take years to fall into place!

I felt fear again before I did the Wiki, and this blog (even though I'd done similar before) however, it just goes to show, that playing really does work in terms of helping you to learn. Not all Web 2.0 tools are intuitive, and knowing what you want to happen, then finding the solution via Google, is sometimes the best way of learning. Therefore, getting students to articulate their goals first and worry about the method later is a good way of gaining the motivation needed for learning.
