Wiki's just a word


Just finished test drive no. 3 and was all worried about wikis but the videos helped explain them to me. I'm a visual learner so the more that is demonstrated, the better. A wiki looks like a good way to communicate with a group so that all members of the group are on the same page, so to speak, at the same time.

I now know that if I have a passion about something, that I may be able to share my ideas with others with the same bent. I think teachers could really use this technology within their classrooms. For example, children could read and edit other students' work and give feedback etc. Mmm, wish wikis had been around when I was teaching!

There would be many benefits to using wikis within the library also and I enjoyed visiting the sites suggested.
