WIKI+ANALYSIS+MVCR+MODULE+3

Wiki Analysis for online learners.

mvcr onlinecourse:
Do a little personal research and find a blog or wiki that relates to your content area. Find something that you would recommend your students follow or read. Post the URL and describe why this link qualifies as a blog or wiki. Describe how you would use this in your teaching practice. If you have trouble finding a suitable resource, describe what you could start on your own and why! Don't forget to add this information to your digital scrapbook!

Upon doing research I would recommend these sites for students who have a desire teach online using wiki in the education field.

These links qualifies as a wiki link. Using wiki for online education has to be the easies tool to use. Upon experience other tools such as edublog, twitter, ebloggers, ansdwiki. Wikis is the easiest tool to use and enhances more of a learning process.

//**__Duffy and Bruns (2006) list several possible educational uses of wikis: __**// • Students can use a wiki to develop research projects, with the wiki serving as ongoing documentation of their work. • Students can add summaries of their thoughts from the prescribed readings, building a collaborative annotated bibliography on a wiki. • A wiki can be used for publishing course resources like syllabi and handouts, and students can edit and comment on these directly for all to see. • Teachers can use wikis as a knowledge base, enabling them to share reflections and thoughts regarding teaching practices, and allowing for versioning and documentation. • Wikis can be used to map concepts. They are useful for brainstorming, and editing a given wiki topic can produce a linked network of resources. • A wiki can be used as a presentation tool in place of conventional software, and students are able to directly comment on and revise the presentation content.

I found these entire tools necessary to use as I explored using wiki. As a teacher I choose wiki to use for online learning. The process is easy without any frustration.
