FILAMENTALITY
The first time that I saw the word, I figured that there must be some sort of spelling mistake. But then I saw my second topic and thought the same. So I've concluded that both of my topics must be some new technology terms, which are obviously new to me and perhaps new to you as well.
Click here to read about filamentality. The definition is written in a very informal way, which is good because we may be on unfamiliar grounds, so to speak.
Essentially, filamentality is a tool that allows you to basically create web pages without even knowing HTML (this is great for any teachers who are reluctant about using technology in the classroom). In addition, it leads you through the process of setting up your web page, it helps you to gather resources and links, and in the end - you've created a web page that your students can learn from.
Sound too good to be true? Hmmm...at some point, I'll have to try this personally.
...Ok, on a side note, we all know to use this source with caution...but I was surprised to find that filamentality wasn't in wikipedia...

I like the idea of creating a web page without HTML! I can't wait to hear more about this world which is so unfamiliar to me.

Hi Kate,
This kind of reminds me of the builder lesson we had to do. It seems like the same idea. The example presented on the page you gave us is fairly plain. I wonder if it's customizable? This seems like it would be a great tool to help librarians create online pathfinders.
It sounds like you have an opportunity to author a brand new article in Wikipedia! Great introduction!
