Well… I’ve not done a very good job of blogging this session, unfortunately. I’ve been too busy playing with the software and ideas, and thinking about what the tools are, and how to use them.
In essence, a wiki is a series of linked files and pages, created by users and linked to each other by users. They’re creative, collaborative, and elegant. I don’t feel like I learned much from this session, but I’m already an experienced Wiki user.

WordPress can be used as a Content Management System (CMS), because it’s a highly rich environment. It’s particularly useful for single-user or small-group CMS systems.
All the links that are part of this session are listed at: http://www.assorted stuff.com/necc2009
Examples of other CMS systems: Drupal, Moodle, Joomla, and Blackboard
