Portfolio Piece #7 - Wiki Creation



How wiki can be used to improve classroom instruction

As a result of the knowledge and experience gained about the usefulness from the creation of my wiki site for the execution of classroom instructions, I will endeavour to teach each student how to create and use their wiki site in order to access work posted. With the implementation of this tool, my students will be able to interact with each other through collaborative efforts and by reviewing other student’s work.

The classroom is dynamic and is quickly changing from text to media and this is often more meaningful because it changes the way educators engage and motivate students. Students are interacting with content differently when they can access it as many times as they need and see multiple representations of concepts. Students will be able to participate in online discussions by posting their comments during class time and receiving immediate response from teacher. Access to resourced materials, for example, digital version of text books can be posted online, greatly reducing the need for students to carry around heavy book bags. The level of student’s involvement and contribution to lesson will be better accessed by the teacher. This encourages students to use multiple tools and resources to represent their growing knowledge.
