Conny,  Good Morning,  I hope all is going well. Under my name, I have set up 3 different wikis using the three sources listed (PB works, Wet Paint, and Wiki's for Everyone). Setting up Wet Paint & Wiki's for Everyone was not bad as they were both quite intuitive and they both provided easy to understand directions. PB Works took a bit longer, but that may have been becuase it was my first visit to wiki land. So far, Wet Paint appears to offer the best visuaIs (i.e., it looks very similar to a regular web page) and videos can be added very easily. Wiki's for Everyone seems to offer the best posting/editing functions (e.g., they have set up their threading system to highlight the last edit...this is very helpful when there is a lot of posting/editing going on). I believe reviewing these wikis will assist us in deciding what type of wiki to use for our reflective journals.  I am going to go into the wikis and review them again with an eye towards functionality. I will send you a separate invitation so that you can take a look at the different wikis. I would think it's best to work within the Study Groups Section of WebTycho when posting our thoughts and creating our response for the assignment. Under Conference, click on Study Groups and you will notice that we have our own area where we can create a collaborative document. I will create a collaborative document so that we may start to post our thoughts on this project. I don't think it should be too difficult to organize this project and post it by September 15 (I would think a possible strategy would be to: list our criteria for selecting a wiki, note the possible pros and cons of each wiki, and then make our decision (which may be the same or different). Again, once I get back into the wikis (hopefully without any problems) I will send you an invitation to visit. Iet me know when you receive the invitations.   Take Care,   Shawn
