• A place on the web where many people can come together and share ideas
• Can be like an ongoing conversation • Contains a body of knowledge that
people can share
• WIKI means QUICK – a place to consolidate ideas , links, videos.
• A PORTAL for learning

the whole story but is evidence for the teacher backed up by observations.

++++++

• Once the Wiki template is created it is easy to copy and duplicate
• Classes were highly motivated to use the WIKI.

++++++
• Absent students could be aware of what was going on
• Students generally organised Groups well - matched ability with specific duties or tasks

++++++
• Definitely less work marking - no trees - all in one place
• History page provides evidence to challenge students who appear to be making no effort or contribution
• Students with IT ability can shine

-------• First time with class on WIKI can be
difficult • Takes time to work out Criteria if you
want to use the WIKI for assessment• Some students claimed they weren't
listened to in their Group and could have done better on their own ( I agreed!)
• Unmotivated students could be spectators although their marks also reflect this .
