I really
enjoyed this article and I had learnt a lot. The article for this week was
“Online Collaborative Writing Using Wikis” by Paul Sze. What is a wiki? A wiki is an online platform in which anyone
can add information and edit information that has been previously added by
others. The author provides a good description of the task that he assigned to
the class, the manner that they worked in it and finally, of the results
obtained. The author also provides some other examples in which collaborative
writing can be applied using wikis. Something that really like from the article
was that the teachers provides a clearly description of the task, the steps of
the creative process, the prompts and the responses of the students to a
challenging task, also I learned that students can feel satisfied with a result
as a wiki, in which not only their classmates and teachers, but also their
friends, relatives, and literally anybody can appreciate their final work.
As a
conclusion, I really love this reading because it shows new techniques to write
and collaborates skills the articles were interesting and that the habit of
writing a blog has helped you improve this skill.
Hello Monica. I agree with you that one of the interesting part of Online Collaborative Writing Using Wikis is the final result and how students can feel satisfied with it. In my personal opinion this was the first time that I worked in such a creative way to present a final article with the help of the whole class. What I liked about Wikis is that its main benefit to your teaching is facilitate team work, articles are easily edited through a web browser. It is not an expensive programs and the previous versions of a page is saved and retrievable. These features encourage and facilitate easy collaboration with a few technical participation.
