Ed-Tech Insider: Rendezvous and Instiki: No Bookmarks To Set, No IP Numbers to Remember...

This sounds like a great trick. Much easier to use than the Moodle, and easier for me to share with other teachers in my school. Check out Instiki today. Read more...
Ed-Tech Insider: Rendezvous and Instiki: No Bookmarks To Set, No IP Numbers to Remember...: "In July I learned from Tom Hoffman of a lite weight wiki called Instiki. It runs under the Ruby scripting language and Ruby happens to come installed on our OS X Macs, so I downloaded Instiki, launched it and had a Wiki on my desktop... That in and of itself is kind of interesting, but the exciting part was enabling access to the wiki page via Rendezvous and Apple's Safari browser. In OS X you can enable web sharing on your local machine. Instiki uses port 2500 on the local machine, so with a simple redirect from your local index.html page, you can point a Rendezvous enabled browser to your local wiki. Now in addition to Ms. Jones using this technology we have two other teachers who have started to have their students use Instiki in this manner."
