I have never promoted the use of Wikis within the classroom bacause of the fact that anybody can edit them and information may not necessarily be right. However sighting the 'Wikis in Plain English' have a better understanding and can see the potential for some great lessons implementing the use of this tool. I still think it is important to inform the student that if they are using a Wiki for their assessments that they need to double check that this is authentic information.
- What role do you see for using Web 2.0 tools in your own life as a learner and a member of online communities?
For me this course has been both great revision and resource for learning new knowledge and skills. Although I have already been implementing many of these tools within my teaching for years, I will now be implementing them more effectively and starting to use others. As for the online comunities, I have found these to be very interesting and will endeavour to take the time and explore them more deeply.
- How can Web 2.0 assist in improving learning outcomes for all students?
Web 2.0 allows the teacher to visualise and then implement a larger variety of learning activites that cater more for the individual. The tools presented within this course allow for all levels of learning both individually and as a whole class and for the opportunity of peer mentoring and evaluation of the educational process. It presents the ability for all student to succeed, achieving obtainable marks from having fun across all key learning areas therefore improving learning outcomes for all students with the integration of ICT.
