Module 10

The idea of Wikis as communication and information hubs is great. I have just created one to assist with a relocation. What a great way to keep everyone in the family up to speed on what how each other is progressing with their various tasks. Exactly the way the campers did in the YouTube clip.

Essentially the Wiki is a tool that allows students (or in my case family members) to create and/or refine everyone else's work. If there is something missing or incorrect in the overall plan it can just be fixed. A great way to 'build' an assignment with groups of students.

I have not used a ning before but was very tempted to sign up for the free trial. It would be just like having your own private secure Facebook.
