PMI chart on the use of Wikis in the classroom:
PMI – Wikis in the classroom | ||
Plus | Minus | Interesting |
Engaging Encourages collaborative learning Builds ICT skills Reflects needs of Australian Curriculum Progress can be tracked by the teacher Hints and tips can be given as students work | Some group members may not be as involved in the wiki space as others Information on the wiki can easily be deleted by other parties (or other students) Although it is retrievable, this may become annoying. Not all students may have easy access to the required technology at home Time management Not all students may be confident with using ICT Students can easily plagiarise Parents may not be comfortable letting their students on the internet without supervision | If the teacher is away the wiki space is still accessible by the students. The use of the internet raises a lot of issues such as child protection, what the students access etc. |
Wikis - Gotta love em.
