How can a wiki be used
to improve a classroom
Just
like any other internet or computer base activity, students will be highly
excited to do the activity. For my wiki, I used a notebook template. Using this
template, the students can view the wiki as additional notes from the teacher
without the teacher dictating the notes to them. The information will always be
there so at any time prior to testing, the students are free to view the
information on line. View and studying the information on line, gives the
students a positive reason to use the internet. So I would use a wiki to give
additional information, videos and URL to other sites with related information
for my accounting class.
Reflection
For
this portfolio a wiki from wikispaces was created. It was a challenge for me to
get familiar with the features and gadgets available with the wiki. Once I got
accustoms to them creating and designing my wiki was a simple task. The
templates available were very boring to me. This piece could have been improved
by adding a better template that would attract the students more. There should
have been a way for us to design our templates instead of just changing the
colours only. If there is a way for us to create our own templates, then that
is a challenge that I will overcome in the future.
