Wiki me?

The Coordination of School Library Media Programs and Services (aka ‘so you wanna be a school librarian?!’) online course I teach via RU/SCILS/PDS is offered in both the Fall (14 week) and Summer (8 week) semesters.
Since
  • I frequently revise course units as I find new readings to use, and have to crunch / expand the course content depending on the timeframe, I end up with files, notes, etc. all over the place,
  • My former students often ask if there’s a way they can find out what ‘new’ readings I’m recommending,
  • I’m fascinated by the possibilities of web 2.0 applications for EXPLORING AND SHARING information.
I’ve decided to try using a wiki for my course-materials, to force me to learn how to utilize and demonstrate this new format.

There are lots of free wiki-hosts out there, but after I noticed that both Steven M. Cohen and Meredith Farkas (two of MY gurus) use PBWiki, that’s a good enough recommendation for me — esp. with a tagline that says “PBwiki makes creating a wiki as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich.” So I’ll be setting up my Intro to School Librarianship wiki at http://slmps.pbwiki.com .
Do I need to worry about crunchy or smooth?
