NEIT2008-1M

Small group met to explore the ways wikis are used in classrooms. Most people attending were looking for ideas. Here are some of the things we discussed:

Wiki environments- Wikispaces -only one person can edit a section at a time. PBwikis Moodle - clunky, not intuitive

Some people confuse the use of Blogs, wikis and forums. Wikis are used to get to the truth - used for knowledge. Wikis save every version, so if someone changes something that isn't correct, can go back to an earlier version.

There should be a "Wiki Etiquette" or rules before a class begins a wiki. One thing mentioned - don't change content without asking.
