Talk:User-Generated Content in Education/Wikis in Education

SKamara- Wilkes 2013 Summer 1 Team, Fine job contributing to information about Wikis. I learned new things and have things to consider about using wikis with students.

SShoop- @CC Great job with reasons to use wikis in education. I will admit that they have never been my favorite tool to use. I have had many students delete other people's things on a wiki. Although you can restore it, we had problems with people not saving and then we couldn't restore. Wikispaces I find is much more user friendly than this website. 1sshoop (discuss • contribs) 03:42, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

CC - I added to "Why use wikis for education" and "Advantages of using wikis in the classroom." I also added a reference. I tried to add a picture of Ward Cunningham in the history section, but right now, it is only showing up as a link. I guess it needs to be approved?

RG- Added Wikibook library icon, as well as edited what is a wiki and history sections.

MN - Created the wiki, TOC, headings, and references section. Created the wikis in education section, history, what you need to get started including popular educational wiki sites and why use wikis in the classroom.

CH - Created the advantages and disadvantages of using wikis in the classroom, inserted relevant pictures,and references.

HB - I enjoyed your project. It was informative in an understandable way. Advantages and Disadvantages sections were a good addition.

SM - I appreciate that you highlighted the collaboration aspect of a Wiki via an image. I think that is a critical benefit of Wikis, as a result I think highlighting the importance was a great idea.

Alana - good project. The list of advantages was great. That along with this week's assignment has really made me think about using wikis more in the classroom.

Matthew S- RB I like the section that you added to the Wikibook "Why use wikis in Education". You made a very good contribution to the Wikibook and the points you made about why Wikibooks are used in education were very good. I liked how you mentioned about Wikibooks being used in any subject area not just English because Wikibooks are used mainly to enhance writing skills.
