Great idea! Start with the basics. (always start with the basics :-) ) To fully understand the power of TW one must first grasp the concept of a wiki.
I disagree with Mans in that TW is nothing like a *normal* office notebook document. Sure, you could use it to just write text, for example like a blog, but the power of the wiki is that it is in essence a "flexible database". Tiddlers and tiddler content can be used and reused in flexible ways. One can extend the functionality of the wiki with the power of readymade plugins and self-written scripts. But in essence it remains a wiki, linking pieces of information together in flexible ways. (where plugins create or manipulate this 'information' in an interactive way) Tiddlyspace is basically an extention of TW. An added value. (one that opens up a lot of new options, true) But there are many options out there in cyberspace that offer possibilities for sharing and linking, if that is all you are after. Just like the people in this group use their wikis in many different ways, so will the students find different uses for TW. The power of TW is that you can. (it is good practice to give examples of the extreme diverse usecases) To fully understand the power of the toy - and to learn to understand the inner workings, I think it is important to start from the basics and build your way up. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
