Wikispaces

In this lesson we created a Wiki space. To me a wiki space is like an online forum mixed with a website. I can upload all my thoughts and information I wish to share onto my wiki but it can also be edited and changed by people viewing it. 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.
You can view my wiki space at Courtneys Wiki

Using wiki spaces in a classroom can help motivate students to investigate topics. 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 students work can then reflect what they have learnt on a topic and also delve into what they would like to learn from topics studied.

Students collaborate online to get eefective 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 collaboarte and gain feedback from their peers.
