Wikis

Hi Everyone,

Wikis are a great mean of communicating with students of today. Students need to be engaged to learn and in the 21st century and technology is certainly Generation Y's chosen tool. Wikis can be used in the classroom in many ways such as- Lesson Revision- Notes collaboration- Concept introduction and exploration- Learning by sharing ideas- Learning by working individually by individual assessment- Organisation of tasks.- Students can upload videos and images.- Homework can be loaded on a Wikis so both student and parents can access it.

Collaborative learning is certainly a popular teaching tool. Students are able to learn from each other, talk to students from other countries and revise their work via the Wiki.

I found the Wiki a little more difficult to work with than the blog, however with practice I'm sure it is a simple tool to use.

Bye for now
