Wikis in Education
I'm not very far into the Wiki topic, but I have already seen what is somewhat paramount in Wiki use: leadership. It seems that Wikis are an amazing collaborative tool, but my students will most definitely need a strong leadership component to a Wiki. I'm seeing that just with us College students, the Wiki is getting chaotic. I think that perhaps an outline set up by a leader or teacher would be best for Wiki set-ups. Perhaps I will see a difference when actually doing the Wiki project, but for now I feel unsure and disorganized. This does teach a strong lesson about creating a Wiki for my students.

Hi Megan,
ReplyDeleteI agree. It seems that wikis are something new to many members of our class (I know its new to me) which makes it challenging to just jump in without a topic and clear objectives, etc. It serves as a good lesson for an educator wishing to use this with students - the students are going to need guidance to know how to even get started!
Thanks,
Shannon
