web 2.0: Wiki Research

1. How can a wiki be used in a current class on your schedule (not this course)? Pick a class and be specific how the class could create and use a Wiki on a regular basis (tip: Use the Internet, here is a good source).                                                                                                                                   A1: Wiki can be used in my world history class. Ms. Garvin always gives group projects where you don't get alot of class time to do it so you have to finish it at home and work with your partner. This can be a task for some groups that live far away for example if a Wood-Ridge student gets paired up with a moonachie student. They don't live near each other to go over their house and do it together so they need a method to work together easily. A wiki can be a good idea if they need to get work together done. In a wiki they both can edit the page and add their ideas.
2. What are the benefits of using a wiki in class?                                                                                           A2: the benefits of using a wiki in class is getting students to come together to work on a same page that they can edit together. A wiki in class can help educational learning.
3. How can we create a wiki in this class, what would we contribute to it and how would we utilize it on an on-going basis?                                                                                                                                  A3: We can create a wiki in this class by going on a website that offers free wiki domains. Every day going around the circle a student would add a question after class on what the don't understand, the next day the next student answers it using edit.
4. What experience do you have using or creating wikis                                                                              A4: In Ms. Garvin's class the students are paired up in groups of two and make a wiki using wikidot.com
