Affordances of Wikis - Wiki Spaces Classroom

I set up a Wiki Spaces Classroom (Education - Free)to analyse the affordances of this online space as a pedagogical tool. I am now converted to this approach to student driven content and have been planning how to implement this tool as part of my Teacher Librarian role (student research tasks) which I will return to in July. It is much easier to manage than I anticipated. The table is by no means a final product: below but it is my first response after using the tool. I already know it would be better with more specificity around activities so feel free to make suggestions! The table is in my wiki as well video, images and soon I will add a link when I find something awesome. One thing I would have liked to do was be invited to another student's wiki to compare and contrast', from a member's perspective..... Hint Hint. I found setting up my wiki I was more aware of writing for the future members, "them", whereas setting up and writing in this blog is more about the "me". If you would like to be a member of my wiki and have not yet received an invite please let me know and I will make sure it happens.

  1. Hi Justine, I have set up a Wiki as an example of a possible student space. I was imagining a wiki for a specific purpose ( vocabulary development) and it is quite structured. The link and generic username and password are in my blog posting and our " online spaces" info. I have received an invitation to your wiki space and will try to access it this week : )
