Hi,
Check out my wiki site . At the moment I have nothing in it but I have the hyperlink.
According to Ebner, Holzinger and Maurer (2007) there are two major directions for the future, social and technological. Web 2.0 technology is developing rapidly. Blogs, wiki, podcasts are the future of learning. Teachers should not reject the notion of incidental learning that happens when students are connected to the internet.
Notari (2006) states that life long learning is impacted by learning activities. Wiki is a powerful tool for constructivist learning environments because it allows for collaboration. Wiki's allow particpants to comment on others work, correct mistakes and build links. Constructivist learning prefers real life cases or problems. The difficulties for learners is they do not get involved enough in the work of other participants. Students need to get used to the compare and comment aspect of wiki's. Negotiation is another skill students need to learn to make wiki's a great learning tool.
