Wikispaces !

Wikispaces to me are a general mixture of a forum and a plan old website. You can create a wiki and add your thoughts and ideas o share with others but this information can also be accessed, changed and added to by others working in a collaborative group. Wikipedia is a massive online wiki space in which online information is added and continually updated by users around the globe. A wiki is different to a blog in that a blog is your own individual learning and thoughts while a wiki space can be updated and changed by multiple users. Wikis can be used in classroom for individual and collaborative work as they students can create edit and present information in a way that suits them and can be accessed by others wishing to add, change or learn about a topic. The use of the wikis in class can allow students to create a site of their own and present information in witch other students can learn from or add to from different views and opinions of a single topic. By creating their own wiki in their own personal style the student is able to set out their work in a way that suits their learning style. The student’s work can then reflect what they have learnt on a topic and also help teachers understand and look into what students would like to learn from topics studied. Students collaborate online to get effective learning results. They are able to comment and collaborate on any thought posted onto the wikispace. Students enjoy any activities in which they are able to collaborate and gain feedback from their peers.
