Week 3 Reflection
I was very excited to be able to create a wiki. I have never worked with a wiki before and I am really loving the idea about being about to communicate with a large group of people at once, instead of sending out mass e-mails and hoping everyone gets the information and not fearing that someone got left out.
The wiki I created was to get different ideas from my classmates on how they use technology in the classroom and what technology is already present that they already use. I have implemented the idea and sent it to everyone that is on our class wiki, so hopefully I will get some great information.
An advantage I see using wiki's would be, corresponding with my students on book reports, neat websites they have found to possibly implement in our class and making announcements. Also, maybe posing a weekly question for the students to go and answer. The disadvantage would be anyone can delete things and add whatever they want.
I do believe wiki's have the advantage to engage the students, especially if you have an assignment online for them to go and respond too. Another way, is it would give the students an advantage to maybe ask questions to their peers or you as a teacher, when the student is starting their homework or project during the evening hours or weekend.
