A wiki is a collection of web pages that can be edited by users to allow for fast communication and sharing of information. Wikis are like discussion boards where people can become involved and communicate. Ward Cunningham invented the first wiki to allow for quick collaboration on the web. Wikipedia is the most well-known wiki - an online encyclopedia that allows collaborative editing by volunteers worldwide. Wikis allow for editable information to be shared quickly but also carry risks if unreliable information is added without oversight.Blogs And Wikis

Wikis are commonly used for community websites, corporate intranets, knowledge management, and note-taking. They allow different levels of access control and rules for organizing content. Wikis can be used in the classroom for students to share content knowledge, edit each other's work, comment on each other's work, and develop webpages to convey their knowledge while appealing to students' interests in technology and publishing online.

Teacher websites are designed to communicate important information to students, families, and colleagues about what is happening in the classroom. They can publish student work and share classroom activities and events. Teacher blogs allow catching student interest while informing others, and can be posted to weekly, monthly, or for each new student group. Blogs allow interaction between students and teachers outside of school. Teacher wikis can be used for group projects where students collaboratively gather and edit information on a topic to create a wiki, promoting collaboration and interaction. Monitoring of posts is important to prevent inappropriate content.The use of blogging and micro-blogging in language education

This document discusses the need for schools, teachers, students, and parents to evolve to meet the demands of the digital age (Web 2.0 world). It describes a high school in Serbia that has adopted some Web 2.0 practices like providing students with computers and internet access. The author believes teachers should empower creative and active "Student 2.0s" by having them help create teaching materials. While some students have embraced new technologies, others remain dependent on Facebook and passive. The goal is to create a learning environment for empowered "Student 3.0s" where teachers and students can help each other. Parents also need to become "Parent 3.0s" to provide support in this new digital world.My Students are Students 2.0

This document discusses the need for schools, teachers, students, and parents to evolve to meet the demands of the digital age (Web 2.0 world). It describes a high school in Serbia that has transitioned to School 2.0 by providing each student a computer and internet access. As a Teacher 2.0, the author engages students by having them create teaching materials using wikis. This empowering approach motivates and engages the creative students. However, some students still lack technology access and skills. The goal is to create a learning environment for Student 3.0 by empowering teachers and students. Parents must also evolve to Parent 3.0 to fully support students in this new digital world.Blogging with students

The document discusses using blogs in elementary classrooms. Blogs can be used to discuss and reflect on learning, announce events, showcase student work, and collaborate. Some benefits are that blogging provides an authentic writing experience, students feel accomplished, and participation is not limited by time or space. However, teachers must consider student safety, monitoring comments, and devote time to keeping the blog updated. Steps before starting include learning about blogging, following teacher blogs, starting a personal blog, and taking a course. Suggested blog platforms include edublogs.org, blogger.com, and classchatter.com.MSSAA Assistant Principals' Conference

Social networking services have the potential to impact learning both positively and negatively. While they allow for more engagement, collaboration, and information sharing, there are also barriers to implementation related to assessment, professional development, information literacy, and safety issues. Educators are encouraged to explore appropriate uses of social media to facilitate communication, collaboration, and lifelong learning, but also need to address potential risks.ASAHP poster, Web 2.0 for Faculty

The document discusses a course taken by health sciences faculty to teach them about Web 2.0 tools and how to incorporate them into education. The course used blogs, RSS feeds, social bookmarking, wikis and other tools. Faculty participants provided feedback on the tools, with many finding benefits like increased sharing of information, enabling student learning, and new ways for collaboration. However, participants also noted that using new technologies requires time and support for faculty.Using Social Media in the Classroom
Using Social Media in the Classroomkellyggardner
油
This document discusses how teachers can use social media in the classroom. It argues that social media is how students primarily communicate today, so teachers need to embrace these tools. The document provides examples of how one teacher uses blogs, Twitter, and Tumblr to share information with students, encourage class participation and discussion, collect assignments, and create an online learning community. While monitoring is important, social media can make learning more engaging if used appropriately.More from Susan Jenkins (20)
