Lesson 6 Reflections of Wikis

Students would definitely thrive as social learners using wikis. It has the glamour of text messaging, with a larger audience. The challenge will be directing their thoughts to the topic at hand, and helping them learn to really know what is a reliable source. It has the potential to also help teach character education as students learn to responsibly respond to other students.

I love your comment about Character Education! I've recently been thinking about this a great deal. I think we need to focus on "digital citizenship" with students in all technologies that they use. We tend to focus completely on Internet safety, but responsible, ethical digital citizenship is really the key and encompasses both safety and responsible use.
