Wikis
Throughout my development of Web 2.0 tools, I have only used one Wiki and that is Wikipedia. When creating my own Wiki, I had a tough time finding a wiki space to create an account. I went through some of my classmates forum posts to find a source that was updated. With that being said, I am unsure about the use of wikis in my classroom as it felt like a dated Web 2.0 tool. Now that I have set up a wiki for my students to engage on, I think I could make it work for particular assignments.
One assignment I would use a wiki would be our Cardiovascular Disease project. Students become the expert of one cardiovascular disease and create any type of project. As the students research, I could have them use a wiki to gather information and post so the information is all in one spot. This would be a great to provide information to all students without having to individual presentations. During this process, I would definitely have to moderate the information and make sure students are posting correct information. I would have rules of engagement for the students to follow and discipline accordingly if those rules are violated.
