Setting up and using a wiki space was fun to me. I had heard
about it, but I had never used it before. I found it easy to set it up and I
noticed that its pages look like MS word processor windows, so it was very
familiar to me. Also wikis are very similar to websites, but they are simpler
to use and don’t have much distractions. It’s perfect for teaching and
learning.
Wiki spaces can definitely use in almost any field: teaching,
social life, work, community, church, etc. Since I am a teacher, the first
place I thought for using it was school. There are many ideas for using wiki for
teaching, from very simple ones like posting your schedule to more complex ones
like a school projects. I would use wiki space for collaborative assignments
like creating and sharing material for the class in order everyone can have it.
I teach English and French as foreign languages and it would be very useful to
have a website (instead of visiting many sites) where my students can find
vocabulary, grammar explanation, songs, readings and any other resources. It
would be great that students can create their own vocabulary lists with the
definition of the word, images, example of how using it and even dictionary
entry. I could have my own wiki with all that information, but I think it
better if they create it by themselves. Instead, I would use my own wiki space
with other teacher in order to exchange teaching resources and any other
information.
