This past week in class we were assigned the tech task of collaborating as a class to create a Wiki on the topic of Digital Literacy. As a class we gathered together online each adding bits to create a complete resource for teaching Digital Literacy in the classroom. Like working on a large puzzle each of us research to fill in the gaps of our wiki. Although the idea of creating a website seems daunting, creating a wiki is extremely simple. Like most things involving technology, sometimes the best way to learn is to simply play around with it. For those who may not know what a wiki is, this common craft video gives a good explanation of the purpose and uses of a wiki are.
In the classroom, creating a wiki is a great tool for group projects, whether small or whole class projects. The wiki will show who and when someone has added to the wiki. This is a great tool to teach student how to collaborate online and how to interact online in a positive educational way. Interested in checking out our Wiki? http://i4edwinter14.wikispaces.com
I found this assignment really useful. I can think of numerous ways that a wiki can be used in our classrooms. I think that a wiki is a great way to share the information that the students have learned in class. The subject of audience was discussed in class. If we expand the audience that has access to our students projects they are more likely to do a better job.
