After watching the informational explanation of a "wiki," I immediately thought of a positive use for education. Right now, our district is struggling with the implementation of Common Core curriculum. Since there in no "program" given to us, it is up to us teachers to develop it. With the help of "Wiki", teachers in the district could work on developing the curriculum collaboratively. Authorized teachers (perhaps all district grade level teachers) would be registered and could add content and revise lesson plans as a group. This would be helpful, so not all the work falls on one person.
I especially enjoyed the short article, "Considering a new avenue of communication: the Weblog." It was a brief and accurate description of webblogging. After participating in the weekly blogging routine for this course for a few weeks, I see how beneficial it is. It is interesting and beneficial to see how others view and respond to the same articles and information. It is helpful to me. I have notice that I have a tendency to be to "long-winded". This article highlights the importance of being brief.
The article, "Info tech advisor, I thought Wikis were creatures in "Star Wars" Athletic Therapy Today," defines wiki as a online collaboration web site of information. Initially, I was thinking of how "wiki" would be helpful to teachers for lesson collaboration, but the author also pointed out "wikis" potential of engaging students in a class project. I like this idea. It would motivate and engage the students. They would enjoy that.
