    In this article I found a lot of useful information on how the author tried to get other teachers to use Wikis. I think we can definitely use this to give an example of how we can get a department on board with using Wikis.

    I found this link through the 'Wiki in the Classroom' resource you provided. It seems to have a ton of valuable information and links to a lot of different pages. I am going to look through it to see if I can find a few things to use.

  • Power of Wiki in Spreading Knowledge: Wikis are easy to use, convenient, and reliable (Augar, N, Raitman, R, Zhou, W, 2004). Wikis are great communication and collaboration tools that create collaborative environments where individuals are engagingly learning with others (Chao, J, Parker, K, 2007). Wiki is a great tool for professional development as it provides teachers with opportunities to communicate, collaborate, and discuss different ideas about key topics in education (Foley, B, Chang, T, 2007). "Wiki users are not just consumers but also producers of information (Tetard, F, Patokorpi, E, Packalen, K, 2009) .”
  • Wiki participants learn online through reading, discussing, editing, and sharing information.

  • Wiki pages provide easy access to information and are a great way to incorporate technology into
  • I believe that Wiki pages are in the beneficial classroom technology category for several reasons. First of all, it engages student interest and gives them a justly-earned feeling of accomplishement. Second, it can be incorporated into all stages of Bloom's Taxonomy, fulfilling requirements for student knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Finally, it is ideal way for students who may not be very verbally-oriented to engage in a text with something a little more hands-on.

"Learners' Perceived Effectiveness of Wikis for Team Projects" by Elizabeth Koh and Joh... - 3 views

  • A theoretical model is developed, proposing wikis to positively affect learning outcomes of self-reported learning, process satisfaction, positive social environment and a sense of community, through the processes of task-related and socio-emotional activities. The model posits wiki experience and instructor support to enhance these activities.

Wide Open Spaces: Wikis, Ready or Not - 0 views

  • Content is ego-less, time-less, and never finished.
  • wiki pages are rarely organized by chronology; instead they are organized by context, by links in and links out, and by whatever categories or concepts emerge in the authoring process.
  • Entries are often unpolished, and creators may deliberately leave gaps open, hoping that somebody else will come along to fill them in.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • They are perfect for creating perpetually updated lists or collections of links, and most users can instantly grasp their utility as informal bulletin boards.
  • Because it takes only a couple of seconds to set up a new page, no purpose is too trivial.
  • Technical support and training was minimal: at most, one hour of instruction was needed, and in most cases, orientation was handled by a single e-mail.
  • Even confirmed technophobes have grasped and mastered the system quickly. The structure of wikis is shaped from within‚ not imposed from above. Users do not have to adapt their practice to the dictates of a system but can allow their practice to define the structure.
  • Perhaps the most common pedagogical application of wikis in education is to support writing instruction.
  • oe Moxley, a professor of English at the University of South Florida, lists a number of the medium's strengths for the teaching of writing skills: wikis invigorate writing ("fun" and "wiki" are often associated); wikis provide a low-cost but effective communication and collaboration tool (emphasizing text, not software); wikis promote the close reading, revision, and tracking of drafts; wikis discourage "product oriented writing" while facilitating "writing as a process"; and wikis ease students into writing for public consumption
  • wikis may prove to be invaluable for teaching the rhetoric of emergent technologies. Jill Walker, a hypertext theorist and prominent weblogger, suggests that whereas online technologies are fine for teaching things that can also be done with a paper notebook, a more important ability "to teach our students is network literacy: writing in a distributed, collaborative environment." Walker recognizes that bringing network literacy to the classroom is no simple task, that it "means jolting students out of the conventional individualistic, closed writing of essays only ever seen by [their] professor."25 As wikis enter the academy, students may not be the only ones jolted out of conventional practices.
  • most of the pedagogic dilemmas presented by wikis can be addressed by "traditional" management approaches. For instance, students may be required to sign or identify any work that they author.
  • The instructor's role shifts to that of establishing contexts or setting up problems to engage students.
  • In a wiki, the instructor may set the stage or initiate interactions, but the medium works most effectively when students can assert meaningful autonomy over the process.
  • most notable characteristics of wikis, relative simplicity, empowered users, bottom-up organization,

      This paper was written in 2006... I'm sure this is much more research done on Wikis now, but the following information is still useful.
  • Shari Franklin on 30 Jul 14
     
    Unfortunately, I was unable to highlight information within the document. You will have to read it and find pertinent information. The case study itself discusses some negative aspects of wikis. The conclusion gives some good suggestions for introducing wikis into the classroom.
