The document discusses blogs and wikis as tools for reflection and collaboration. It defines blogs as chronological collections of content that can include text, images, and media. Wikis allow easy creation and editing of interlinked web pages through a simplified markup or WYSIWYG editor. Key differences are that blogs have a single author while wikis support collaborative editing. Educational uses include reflection, collaboration on projects, and creating shared resources through wikis.

Wikis in Education http://learninglab.lincoln.ac.uk/wiki/Wiki-tivities_bibliography There is evidence that user-created content encourages deeper engagement with learning, through the act of authoring, simply because the awareness of an audience, no matter how virtual or tentative, encourages more thoughtful construction of writing.

Editor's Notes
- Mention microblogs such as Twitter and Facebook
- Brainstorm: the need to publish to be found, to create a network to reflect to share ideas and receive feedback/ comments to collaborate Notes: introduce web2.0 & read/write web stepping out of comfort zone new rules opinions vs facts
- Branstorm blogs they know of getting started, defining what your blog is for, checking out the competition, finding relevant info to post, learn as you go
- practicums research Groupwork personal reflection
- RSS - really simple syndication Streaming information to your desktop Try to subscribe to a blog – what are the issues?
- discuss in pairs their ideas for their own blog or a student activity with a blog come up with a 'next step plan' - what will they do when they leave this room and how will they do it
- Reflection = personal space/thoughts/opinions/ideas Collaboration = groupwork interchangeable
- Each wiki has its own rules of engagement, setup and registration options. All use Dekiwiki by Mindtouch
- Click on arrows for examples
- Examples at MQ of using wikis with Students – Greg Walkerden (Pbwiki); Boris Handal (studentwiki) need access rights to view
- Tags vs Categories Keywords, index, metadata, V important for finding pages. Search engine based on the tagging of pages
