Comments and suggestions will be welcome.

(What follows is lite, but hopefully still quite on topic)
I wanted to let you all know about the April 1 release of a new issue of
Bunk Magazine (for your students or just for yourselves).
http://www.bunkmag.com/mediawiki/
The premise: The Los Angeles Times, to save its flagging enterprise, has
relaunched itself in an entirely wiki format as The Los Wikiless Timespedia.
The piece plays with the mode of wikis and is a consideration of how old
media producers get new media wrong.
I do believe the issue could be incorporated into a lesson on Wikis. It's
easy to edit and calls into question the changing nature of news media and
media forms (perhaps most clear in the front page piece about the LA Times:
Newspaper Gropes Toward New Media.
[Best for 18 and older or college crowd, since some -- though not much -- of
the humor is a bit adult, though probably mild by today's standards.]
I'll post more commentary soon on WRT.
Best,
Mark
