I believe using a wiki is another amasing tool which, has potential to become a common form of teaching for the students coming through schools, which can combine teaching with technology. The ability to transfer teaching materials via wiki's is a very useful way to allow the students to expand thier knowledge of technology and allow imagination to be combined within their work. The ability for others to add to a students wiki can be an important form of peer learning with the added benefits of being able to access it all via the click of a mouse button rather than hours of research and study.
Cheers for now

I agree that wiki's will be a fantastic tool for us to use in the classroom. I think it would be agreat way to get more students interested in doing group activities, because we know how group activities can be trying. At least if the student can see what they have contributed to the task they should feel like they are a part of the team. I dont know if the other sudents being able to change what is on someone elses wiki will be a good thing or if it will cause conflict between the students.
ReplyDeleteHello Hello,
ReplyDeleteAs we are both interested in ITD (manual atrs) do you see any use for wiki's in that area of schooling, with what you my have learned in Rocky or you're own ideas?

I think that being able to change what is on another person wiki could have dire consequences in a classroom setting. What someone thinks funny may not be what the others think is funny. Considering that we will be teaching teenagers I think this would be a major concern.
