Few days ago I thought the only
Wiki that existed was Wikipedia. I was completely unaware of everything
about wikis, apart from Wikipedia, that is why this assignment was a complete challenge for
me, and I liked it. I was so exited creating my wiki, searching for information
and discovering the different applications of this useful web 2.0, a first I thought
that it was very similar to Google doc, but then I realized that it’s very
different. The wikis have so many applications in different fields like
education and labor; wikis are collaborative tools that allow you share your work
with others people and allow them to collaborate with you. It was fun creating my Wiki page once
I figured out how to handle it.
Wiki in the School:
As an
educational tool wikis are very useful, we saw an example of that in the video ‘Using PBWorks Wikis in the Classroom’
we could see how a teacher uses wikis to assign tasks to students, motivate them to collaborate and participate. Some of
the functions that
the different actors of education
can realize using wikis are:
Teachers
|
Learners
|
School
|
Schedules,
resources, research, content, links, consultations, courses. |
Portfolio,
research, links, summaries, notes,
individual texts, collaborative
texts, opinions, knowledge sharing, consultation.
|
Departments, magazines, resources, curricula.
|
An idea for an activity we might do
with learners that would involve the use of a wiki can be: create
a collaborative text,
where they compose a poem for the literature
class. This assignment is designed for a group of
about fifteen students and
each one must collaborate with ideas. They should write at least
400 words, these tasks Promotes the group collaboration.
Wiki in my life:
The video ‘Wikis in
Plain English’ showed us an interesting and very simple way for using wikis. A simple
thing like creating a list is something that you can do in a wiki. But the
interesting part is that you can create that list in collaboration with your
friends far away or people all over the world.
Wiki in the work:
You can use wikis at work to:
- To collectively create
a ‘welcome kit’.
-Write rules.
- Share information on company products.
- Collaborative space to assess new products.
- Meeting Agenda.
- Customer
Service.
