Earlier in this subject
I started researching the use of Wikis in education which I would like to
document as an example of my digital journey.
I became interested in
November 2012 in how teachers were using Wikis with students and for what
reasons. It began with a trawl of the
internet for Wikis used with primary school students. I wanted quality examples and so filtered accordingly. Here is a bit of a summary of what I found
and who I contacted.
I learnt quite a bit. Wikis I found and things I learnt
Kelly Jordan and Kathleen Morris
Leopold Primary school Victoria
I found these ladies
very early on and contacted them, only to be told their pages were blogs and not
Wikis. How embarrassing. But a learning experience for me.
Natalie Bernasconi.
One of the co-creators
of Digital-ID. Emailed 30th December 2012 through gmail but not reply. No direct
email.
St Francis Xavier
Community school
Canadian, Manitoba. Despite
emails there were no replies.
paulaenglisheso.
English for ESO andBachillerato. Could not find a name for teachers on the wiki so I sent a request to join the wiki late December. She emailed me back and told me that there is
a space in wikispaces where you can email the wiki creators – I didn’t know
that! She was very willing to share and her replies are included this blog - "Spanish Teacher and her Wiki", posted above on Wednesday 6th February 2013.
Brad Edwards – Canadian
exchange teacher
A teacher from South Australia on exchange in Canada. He had set up a partnership wiki – one in
Canada and one with his home school and exchange partner in Australia.
After searching for the creator of the Wiki and locating his email address on
his Australian school site, I emailed Brad and he was most happy to share his experiences
and knowledge. Most of his reply is
included in this blog - "A reply from a wiki creator" posted above on February 6th 2013.
