(Online collaborative writing using wikis)
The use of Wikis
Something i learned from this article and that every teacher
should know is the use of Wikis to promote writing skill as a collaborative
online activity. As we know this writing skill plays a larger part in our life
than we may realize, so that in the reading for this week i could find two main
areas that Wiki encourages to develop writing skill.
Firstly, Students actively engaged in various of
learning-related interactions using the platform that extended to more
meaningful offline interactions. Also, they can learn from each other, and
students are able to contribute of what they are learned by sharing their
findings and receiving feedback; as a result, this can have a huge impact in the
learners' confident.
Secondly, student develops internet search skills and
critical inquiring abilities. Students are able to apply their knowledge in the
task, and they gain experience in self-assessment and peer assessment
.Moreover, this website called wiki offers teachers to give suggestions at any
time and at any place, and also teacher can follow students' work.
To conclude, as a future educators we should take account to
apply different methods to make use of Wikis in order to facilitate more
interactions among students and teachers.

Wiki is a website where anyone can edit anything anytime they want. It is thus a great tool .Teachers can use this website for different projects like: Book repots, Poetry and quizzes. With these tool teachers is able to notice the mistake that their students have.
