WIKI's IN HIGHER EDUCATION VIDEO: [|WIKI YOUTUBE]


 * REFLECTION FROM UNIT: The first thing I learned from this unit is that wikis are different from blogs - very different. I now understand the concept of wiki's which is to share and to NOT CONTROL. It is very easy to post and edit text which I am doing right now as I write this reflection. The Brian Lamb article was really long but there was pieces that were very helpful, especially when he discusssed the roles of wikis in the classroom. The 'Vandalism and Edit Wars" was very awesome because I recently rolled it out to my students to teach exactly why they are not permitted/encouraged to use wikipedia as a source for a research paper. My students truly understood the worth and risks associated with the ability to wiki.**
