NECC
In June 2004 I was provided with a travel scholarship to attend the
National Eductional Computing Conference held in New Orleans,
United States of America. At this conference I attended a
session by Bernie Dodge on "Blogs
and Wikis".
Since my return I have been keen to implement these new learning and
teaching strategies into my classroom.
Wikis
An open content encyclopaedia that allows for open editing. Ideal to
use for my History of Revolutions class. Have requested ICT
Planning Committee to arrange the use of wikipedia software
to be placed on the College's server for me to trial.
My recommendation is that I trial the use of wikipedia in my class and then present
to staff early next year if found to be suitable. As a teaching and learning
tood my intention is to make entries for key characters and events of the French
and Russian Revolution. Students will then be able to go in and enter information
on these to build up a comprehensive wikipedia of information that supports their
studies. Students will be able to enter data at school or home.
