Today I want to reflect on using wikis and google docs. Although thus far my wiki usage is limited I have had a quick glance at how difficult this site can be for creating group sites to share. When using the wiki, all the information that myself and others were simultaneously uploading on one page was deleting other information. Google docs works much better for this kind of web sharing. From many computers you can access one page and there is no issue with material being deleted. To use technology in my classroom I need it to work and be reliable! I think that is the problem for many teachers that are trying to become "tech savvy" but are meeting roadblocks. Google docs would be a much easier and more reliable tool for collaborative thinking with my students. Although, I have not said great things about using wiki, I will continue to use it in my ICT class for our assignment and be sure to post back if it has improved.
Here is a video I found on YouTube that I wanted to share. Its about teaching the "tech savvy" 21st generation. This video has a creative commons license as well, now that we all know what that is, it not illegal to share.
