Raw Materials

This section of Raw Materials discussed how to be collaborative with others on the internet via internet mailing addresses and yahoo groups. It also explains how to use audio and voice conference for colaboration. I think that is is so neat how a person can use a webcam and microphone to see and to talk to someone in a different city or county. My family uses Yahoo instant messenger to talk to my brother who is oversees serving in the military. With the use of my webcam I can see what he is doing and I can see him talking to me. It is better than using the telephone and much more cost effective.

I also found it very interesting to learn about Wiki pages. The first time that I had heard of the Wikipedia, was the first night of class. I have used it several times to look things up, and I have told other people about it who have never heard of it. I hope to find the time to explore the wiki world. Here are some interesting wiki hyperlinks http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiFarms and http://www.wikispaces.com/.
