Wikipedia experience
I just had a very interesting experience. I received a "Toad Abode" from my son and daughter-in-law as a gift to put in my raspberry patch as a natural way to take care of all the mosquitos that plague me when I try to pick the raspberries! Since it's now spring, I put my "Toad Abode" out in the raspberry patch last weekend and today my husband found me a toad. So my toad is in his new home. So I decided that I needed to do some reading on how to take care of my toad. I looked online and found a site called "wikihow" It had all kinds of information about the care of a toad and it was interactive. Just as we've all read about wiki's - I could edit any of the sections that talked about the food, home, care, etc. of toads. It even listed the most recent edits -- date and by whom. Lots of very interesting information. Toads are the most intelligent amphibian -- they like to be petted, will come when you call, will eat from your hand, will learn to show up at a certain time for regular feedings -- fascinating. Not sure I'm up for all that. I just want to make sure he has water and plenty of insects to eat. Might have to buy him some crickets, meal or wax worms until more insects show up. New adventure. But for this class...I was fascinated by the wiki that provided me with lots of information & I could change it if I had something to add.
