CEDO535 Week 2
It's been great learning more about blogs and wikis! Not only are the examples I've found in Richardson's book really good, but further research and links from these sites have given me even more great examples. I just created a twitter account and have found several tech educators to follow. In regard to wiki's, I have to admit that after reading the book, I think I may let go of the reigns a little bit when it comes to my students using Wikipedia. I like the idea of having them make an update to wikipedia and maybe putting in some false information. I'm curious as to how quickly the "wikipedia guru's" will find the false info and fix it.

Mary...
ReplyDeleteI love it that you took the "educational" road with twitter. Maybe I should have followed you on that. I chose to follow meaningless things....well....entertaining, I should say. Haha
That is great info though. I will have to check that out. It would be nice to follow an educational twitter.
Mary, I was a little nervous about the whole Wikipedia thing, and I remember talking about it in another class. Many of us thought to allow our students to use it as a starting point for research, but urge them to use other sources. The book had some good points about it, and I laughed when I read Steve Jobs thinks it's good!
