This is my wiki
http://www.tessa24.wikispaces.com/
Wiki is an online space that allows you to share information, knowledge and ideas without the use of email. It is collaborative and allows any reader to add or edit information. Its is easy, fun and creative.
The important things to remember about using a wiki, however is that you must trust the people who have access to the wiki as information can be changed.
I really like the online example of how wiki's can be used in an educational setting usch as the online text book. What a wonderful way for students to engage and work collaboratively. It allows students to be creative and access and add information from a variety of resources that can be shared with their peers.
Hi Tessa
ReplyDeleteI agree that wiki’s are a collaborative tool for learning, that promotes a social constructivist model of teaching and learning and encourages collaborative and individual effort as Brady(2007)recommends. It also allows students to practice higher order thinking as Blooms Taxonomy (Huitt, 2009) fourth level requires students to analyse moving to the fifth level to evaluate and lastly to create improving, designing and planning ahead. This is a great tool to engage students and value the contributions of all class members.
