Week 7 Thing 16
I think that Wiki's could be very useful for class group project. The students could communicate and edit a project on the wiki without their parents having to run them here and there. They may even be less distracted if they were not all in the same room together:) I watched the video on Wikis In Plain English and liked how they used the example of planning a camping trip. I agreed with them that sometime it is hard to keep track of all the emails and this is a better way. However, I have a few questions that I did not find the answer to. I was wondering if you can limit the people who join you wiki?...and if you can make some things so that they cannot be edited?

You can indeed limit who sees the wiki and/or who can participate on the wiki.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that I find most powerful about Wikis is also the thing that is the most frustrating. The wealth of ideas can be so powerful but only if people make it a task to participate.

Good points, Ann.
ReplyDeleteCan't say as I have started participating in the two wikis I am involved with since I played with this thing. It will come soon.
Angela, I love the collaborative editing piece though many of the students we work with in our Title 1 school do not have access to this technology at home.
