How do you use blogs, wikis, etc., in your postsecondary setting? - Classroom 2.02024-03-28T14:46:49Zhttps://www.classroom20.com/forum/topics/how-do-you-use-blogs-wikis-etc?commentId=649749%3AComment%3A421297&feed=yes&xn_auth=noHi Mary,

Hi Mary,<br />
<br />
I'm thrilled you found some of our work potentially useful and I'd be glad to answer your questions.

FINALLY got around to checking out the wiki. Great stuff on there. I'd be interested in asking some questions about some of the info. on the presentation slides you have posted. I am really trying to more smoothly integrate my tech use in my reading development classes. It is so tempting to use it because you CAN. I want to make sure I am using it in alignment with best practices.

Jay, that all sounds really interesting. I have never really done anything with wikis and have wondered how I might best experiment with them. Right now I am teaching critical thinking and developmental reading. I think the wiki approach might have some good use for my CT class.<br />
<br />
I am in the midst of grading, lesson planning, and more grading, but I will try to get to your Educause link soon.<br />
<br />
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Mary,<br />
<br />
I use a single wikispace for all of the education classes that I teach, including a senior methods/student teaching sequence and a freshman Intro to Education course. This (private) wikispace is organized so that each section has its own home page that they get to from the sidebar.<br />

Hi Mary,<br />
<br />
I use a single wikispace for all of the education classes that I teach, including a senior methods/student teaching sequence and a freshman Intro to Education course. This (private) wikispace is organized so that each section has its own home page that they get to from the sidebar.<br />
<br />
In the freshman class, I use the wiki to support a project-based approach to researching and writing about local school systems while we read about the underlying theoretical issues relating to public education. The students compile their research and write their draft reports in our private wiki, and eventually "publish" them in another public wikispace: <a href="http://rischools.wikispaces.com/" target="_blank">http://rischools.wikispaces.com/</a><br />
<br />
I am also interested in how to use wikis to support authentic project-based learning. My collaborator and I used surveys, revision counts, and focus groups to gauge my students' engagement, collaboration, and learning. A summary of some of our early work on this project can be found in a we presented at EDUCAUSE this January, located here:<br />

<br />
I look forward to reading how others are using similar approaches.<br />

Yes, a central place to list the blogs is essential. Right now, I've been able to manage with the list on Blogger, but if I were having multiple classes use the blog, I think Bloglines or Google Reader would be a must.

This sounds great, Liz. I love blogs for reflection. For my project, the reflection posts have the most impact on me as an instructor, in how I view the students and in what I learn about them... I think I need to tell my professors about this! They are working at putting our M.S. in Reading completely online. This approach for the grad students might work for them, as well.

Hi Mary! I am an undergrad student at Penn State and one of my professors has us working with blogs/wikis/and other technologies to get us connected to the educational world and educate ourselves. We all were required to start blogs about our experiences so far and all the different things we have been learning.

also for your sanity, you must subscribe to a RSS such as Bloglines. Create folders for each class, and subscribe to each students blog. Then you get updates in one place of new entries. One of the most valuable tools for educators.

I use a wiki (pbworks.com) for my course management. I post all handouts, data files, schedules, and other documents on this wiki so students always have access to these documents. We also have shared pages for adding useful links to share with fellow classmates. Another page keeps track of errors or points of difficulty in the text so this helpful information is available for all. I use blogs as a document of student work throughout the semester. sometime the blog entry is to react to an article; sometimes the students discuss what they learned in a module, such as Excel, and how they will use the skills in the future. Also they include small web projects, such as slideshow created in Flickr or Photobucket, to help other class members get to know them. At the beginning of the semester, the students all create a Wordle about themselves and these and posted on their blogs also. In my methods of teaching business subjects, I have a wiki which is growing each year with resources for each of the business subjects which students will teach. Even graduates continue to add to this wiki and use this wiki as a resource. Hope these ideas help.
