Blog Blunder # 10 - Learning Communities, Constructing Knowledge Together in Wikis

Module 10 - Learning Communities, Constructing Knowledge Together in Wikis




Wikis, Blogs, Nings... what i believe to be the most effective Web 2.0 tool to enhance student learning and outcomes by far. Best of all - can be set up, monitored, managed in a safe, yet creative environment.

The meaningful communication facilitated on a blog, wiki... makes these particular web 2.0 tools more than just a pretty presentation tool. 

I myself believe that we have been providing our students with a type of online learning environment in a simplified version using the Editure "myclasses" facilities - available to all students and teachers. Teachers have been providing similar tools for students using this platform. The good thing about this platform, is that it is private, enabling students to converse, research, comment... on particular units of work.

Web 2.0 tools using a wiki/blog/Ning... all enable one thing - a monitored, managed in a safe, yet creative environment.
