- It's taken Isis almost two years to get its mobile wallet this far.
- Founded in November 2010, the venture has been slowly piecing together an industry consortium and developing the technical infrastructure to realize its vision of a smartphone-based "mobile wallet" that can store payment cards, loyalty programs and merchant offers.
- The Isis Mobile Wallet holds virtual versions of many things your existing wallet does- including select payment cards.
how a class wiki can be used in education:
- We at BRIT use wiki to stimulate the uptake of IT. This wiki is used in class to encourage sharing. We have many wikis on various topics.
- Our main application: The class is divided into groups of 3-5 people per group. Each group is assigned one page to create and another page to edit, and everyone is encouraged to help on any page. The anatowiki is the most recent site, and probably the best.
What are the benefits of using a wiki? The benefits of using a wiki are you can share information a lot faster with friends and family without even using email!
How can we create one in this class and utilize it? First we would have to find a website that lets you make one then we could use them in class to send things to each other.
What experience do you have using or creating wikis? I have never used or created a wiki.
