Our week 3 task was to write on the Wiki, what we thought about using mobile phones in the classroom, It is such an interesting topic and debate as there are many positives and negatives to this debate.
In saying this I believe that it is a positive as it allows students to use skills that they are already utilising. It is very difficult to believe that students are expected to use a pen and paper in class & every assignment they are required to complete must be done on a computer.
It also a valuable tool to help engage the student in their work to ask Google if they have any difficulties or questions rather than not complete the task as they are unsure on what to do next or because they don't know the answer to their problem.
The list could keep going on and on and on with the benefits to this great debate!
Did you think Amiee that using the wiki was a useful way to engage you and other students in a discussion? Would you sue a wiki in your classroom?
ReplyDeleteA wiki would be useful Jacqui, but I feel it would be more beneficial for the students to have a blog each, that way they can express themselves more and have more of a play. You would find out more from the students.
