WIKI

I just created my first Wiki! It can be found at -

Okay so I now consider myself kind of digital immigrant now that I have learnt how to create a wiki and a soon a weebly, something that I had no idea even existed! I think that wiki's could be used as an assessment tool in the classroom, as it encourages group work and student interaction, and allows students to share different ideas in an environment that is not as intimidating as the classroom. Wiki's differ from blogs in that a blog is something more personal, where others can add comments to what you have written, however the only person that can edit the information on a blog is the author, however as "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki" states, 'A wiki invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki Web site'.
