Leelfever Common craft in his video "Wikis in Plain English'' shares his views about WIKIS in May 2007.Previously E mails were used to share information.People put information and then information was sent to everyone's inbox but E mails are not good in organizing group input. Wikis can be used for coordination. Wikis can be used for collaborative learning. People can share their ideas to everyone by using wikis.Wikis can be used to design online tasks. There are three essentials buttons in wikis , Edit, Save and Link.Anyone can edit in wikis and then by saving it the webpage can be transformed into document.By clinking on Linking button,we can go or create new page on Wikis.For example ,as i have seen in the video how the four friends use Link button to decide a location for their camp.We can asses wikis by www.pbwiki.com. www.wetpaint.com and www.wikispace.com. Thus in this way,we can use wikis for collaborative learning.
From my point of view,wikis is an important web tool for collaborative learning.It is useful for organizing group tasks.Teachers can assign project to students and can ask them to post their projects on wikis.So in this way wikis can be used in classroom teaching.Wikis can be used in a following way for language learning:
If i want to use wiki in my class, I will use it in this way.First of all i will show one short video to the students
and ask them to work in a group of four people and each student has to write his or her own summary about the video and post it on wikis and then each member has to edit and save it.Then each group will have its one common summary and they will post it on wikis.Then they will be asked to read other groups' summary and asked to edit and save the information.
This activity helps the students to improve their writing skill as well as their language.
