I was given an assignment to learn about wikis in a course I'm taking. The course is called "teaching with Technology" and it's part of my masters program.

So I created a wiki, but it seems everybody in my class is afraid to edit it. Well we just can't have that. I'm sure there are people here who would just love to get in there and mess with it.

The idea came from the icebreaker game "Two Truths and a Lie" where you go around the room and everybody says three things about themselves, only two of which are true.

So I posted two truths and a lie about myself, and I invite you to change them, embellish them, create stories, puns, etc. The rest of the page is up fro grabs too. Just remember it's for my class, so keep it clean and civil.

The URL for my wiki is http://2truthsand1lie.pbwiki.com/edit%20this%20page

The password is "howdy"

Enjoy yourselves

It says you're in the middle of editing it yourself. I could steal your edit lock, but you'd lose the changes you are making... [Smile]

I don't know why it says that. Go ahead and steal the lock.

Hey! That's more better! This is what I was looking for. It's kind of like a threaded discussion, except more compact.

I got the picture of the rat on the page. That's cute.

Question: Who changed the background to all white? And how'd you do it?

Riding a unicorn works your core abdominals? I don't want to think about it.

Obviously the unicorn statement is a lie, which makes the first statement all the more disturbing...

But it's hard to find fingernails in industrial quantities.

MC: are you referring to Chuck Norris, or world domination? Or have I missed something? I must say it's a little weird, but we can always just edit it right back.

I'm just wondering how you know it's pink. I mean, if it's invisible and all.

How can you edit out the world domination? I have a seat in the House of Lords in Swankvania, and if we don't have a new Overlord in the next two weeks, someone's in big trouble!

Rivka: Umm. No...

Lisa: That would be a reference to the IPU. (invisible pink unicorn)

MC: You just watch me!
