Thing #15 (Wikis...)


Uses for Wikis:
  • Conference planning
  • Collaborative editing of documents
  • Meetings (posting agendas, discussion prior to meeting, etc.)
  • Project space
  • In place of structured courseware
  • Presentation medium
  • Web-based notebook to organize your thoughts
  • etc.
  •  
My experience with wikis was a disappointment as I had come in thinking it was easy as 1-2-3. I didn't know that I would be lost in the apsu23things sandbox... I tried to upload pictures, documents, and instead, I just was more confused. 

I would definitely use this tool though as a way of communicating with my students. It would work in a school where majority of the students have internet access. I could send them their assignments and have them help each other out through a wiki tool that I would use for class.

I like how it is editable no matter the time that has passed. However, it is not as safe as one would think, unless there are ways to make a wiki private.
