This document discusses various digital tools for organizing resources and connecting with other educators, including Diigo for bookmarking and annotating, Twitter for connecting with colleagues and finding resources, and Pinterest and wikis for organizing and sharing ideas. It also addresses creating a personal learning network using these tools and finding comfort with social media. The document highlights Moodle as an e-learning platform that allows for convenient, self-paced learning with direct communication and well-organized lessons.
Wikis and Collaborative learning
A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively create and edit interlinked web pages through a web browser. Wikis have advantages for classroom use by enabling easier communication and seamless sharing of information between students and teachers. They also allow teachers to monitor student participation and engagement while developing students' independence and responsibility. By making all student work visible, wikis help students expand on ideas, learn from others' mistakes, and be motivated to actively participate through discussion and feedback.

- 1. Social Media For Educators March 26, 2010 Kevin Murphy
- 2. Useful Tools • Wiki: The wiki interface is very simple to use and I have had the opportunity to us it with my students with great success. Provides excellent security for a free program. • Twitter: Going into this course I was most hesitant using twitter but I actually love it. The ability to get relevant information from informed educators is very useful as a teacher. • Delicious: I really enjoy the organization of this social book marking site and it really allows for easy presentation of websites with my students.
- 3. Challenges • Ning: I had some challenges developing my Ning page to be a successful forum for educators. Personally I like the interface and believe it provides great potential for educators. I just had a difficult time organizing my thoughts through my Ning page.
- 4. Moodle • I really liked using Moodle for the online learning. I have used Blackboard for online courses and actually preferred using Moodle. It was well organized and easy to navigate. • I really like how every link I needed was on the main page, as opposed to entering 2-3 pages before finding the link I need.
