Do Now: Web 2.0: Wiki Research

1. How can a wiki be used in your current classes? Be specific to your classes!
Answer: The Wikipedia community can help the instructor or  students articles that will be edited with student drafts. Details on the assignment and how it will be graded are also valuable. Course pages allow editors to discriminate between editor-specific and classroom-specific issues, so that constructive feedback can be targeted to the right place.

2. What are the benefits of using a wiki?
Answer: 
  • ease in creating web-based content, especially by those who have no technical expertise.
  • elimination of e-mail threads among groups to communicate or to obtain information.
  • ability to complete real-time updates of web-based content (without waiting for the technical support team to update your web server files.)
  • avoiding transfer of document attachments to a distribution list through your e-mail system.
  • enabling the ability to always access current information (eliminating problems by referencing outdated documents or attachments that you previously received.)

3. How can we create one in this class and utilize it?
Answer: We can create one on showing how Web 2.0 works and why we use it, we could also use it to organize a field trip.

4. What experience do you have using or creating wikis?
Answer: I have some experience in using wikis, because my World History teacher uses one so we can post our group projects to it, and so that we can present them to the class.
