Week 3-Wiki Spaces Reflection

One of the Web 2.0 tools we were asked to reflect upon was a wiki spaces page. Initially I was unimpressed by wikispaces. I thought it would promote bullying in the classroom; a critical problem that teachers have to face in almost every classroom all over the world. The last thing I thought teachers needed was another tool that would allow the students to bully and intimidate one another. See my Previous Wiki Reflection to note my attitude towards wiki spaces. After viewing Kelsie Huntly's Blog about wiki spaces and completing my PMI Chart (below), I have found a new perspective of wiki spaces. I do agree with Kelsie when she says that it is much easier to use than a website or a Blog. The functions, which include, hyper linking, adding images, video, text, tables and colours, are easily understandable and accessible. It is a great collaborative learning tool and use of the history function will assist with the prevention of bullying.
