I have to admit that I had no idea about Wikis until Dr. Dawn mentioned them, in Tools 5: Web 2.0. WHAT? WIKIS? As usual, I Googled and did my homework! However, reading and discussing Richardson's Blog, Wiki, Podcasts was an eye-opening. I love the idea of utilizing Wiki in classrooms. A wiki is a web site that allows students to experience the power of editing and adding content. It brings students together to build a common body of knowledge! a highly effective way to promote communication and collaboration. However, preparing for Wikis requires for educators to address the following queries:
- what are your goals?
- who are your audience?
- what is the focus of your Wikis?
- what types of information will you want on your Wikis?
- who are the contributor?
- how would you describe your Wiki in single sentence?
- is a Wiki the right way to go?
