Learning with Wikis and Blogs
Description
Their popularity in the online business and publishing world is well known, but wikis and blogs are also increasingly used as tools in the classroom-and not just because young learners can easily access them. They are easy to create as well, giving students another powerful method of communication and self-expression. This program presents the basic concepts behind wikis and blogs. It also shows, through visually engaging examples, how these digital forums can be used to promote collaboration, discussion, and class participation. Additionally, viewers are given objective information about the world's most successful and widely used wiki site, Wikipedia.org.
