Write an entry for your course weblog about your experience here (on your “Home” page and posting a new entry). How labour intensive was the process? What worked well? What was challenging? What surprised you?
I love wikis! Last term when I was in Etec 510 one of our projects was to contribute to a wiki. You could edit one or write a new one. I chose to edit social networks. I already knew some things about social networks, after all I was on Facebook and I saw the movie!
I love Wikis as they are a collaborative effort to reflect, write and revise. They can be used in many different ways in Education at different levels. They can be related to an educational online course such as webct etec510 or they can be created by teachers in any grade for the purpose of collaborating knowledge to create a substantive growing resource.
Their affordances are fairly easy to learn and use. Once you spend time, like everything else, you easily become familiar with how to add, revise, and update information.
