I have seen how our Year 1 buddy class have used wikis which are a collaboration on a topic to which any member can add. When used with discretion they can be a hugely useful tool. In the Stage I am teaching at the moment, the children are using Wikis as part of a research project on People and their Beliefs and it has been very useful and interesting for us as the teachers to reflect upon. The children have really enjoyed adding to and commenting on each others wikis.
I have learnt a lot in taking part in this course. At times I have felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of new content and required skills, but I am sure that with time and more exposure to this content and tools I will become more competent and confident.
Regarding the tools and the children at our school I have no doubt that they will embrace them with the same amount of gusto and enthusiasm that they display with all things computer based. They are fearless and interested learners.
On the whole, I have enjoyed learning new skills through the WEB 2.0 course and I intend to use a lot of them to make myself a more effective classroom practitioner.
