The objective of this course activity is to understand the issues identified by Becta in the use and management of wikis in classroom situations. | The objective of this course activity is to understand the issues identified by Becta in the use and management of wikis in classroom situations. | ||

In 2008, Becta published the results of a study of the use of Web 2.0 tools in Key Stage 3 and 4 classrooms. You can access this report [[file:Becta report.pdf|here]], or in editable (.doc) format [[file:Becta report.doc|here]]. This is a lengthy report covering all aspects of Web 2.0 tools (including social networking and blogging) but there are some sections that focus on the use of wikis.Go to page 20 of the report for statistics relating to teacher perceptions of wikis and experiences of their use in the classroom. Reflect on the final bullet point that relates to use of wikis and their management. Think about whether wiki management could be an issue for you and your learners and how you might deal with this, for example, creating wikis for smaller groups and introducing a code of conduct. Add to your notes from the previous activities any further thoughts arising from your reading. | In 2008, Becta published the results of a study of the use of Web 2.0 tools in Key Stage 3 and 4 classrooms.

Go to page 34 and read the section that considers the issues of private versus collaborative learning. An important point is made here about some learners who prefer their own private space for learning and therefore find it difficult to engage in collaborative activities. Reflect on whether any of your learners may have this preference and could find collaboration through a wiki to be difficult. Could you encourage such learners to become involved by careful selection of a small group of students to work on a wiki-based activity? Again, add any thoughts you have to your notes. | Go to page 34 and read the section that considers the issues of private versus collaborative learning.
