Case Study 1 Using Wikis in the Classroom



The video presentation discusses the use of wiki in the classroom.  This is an interesting concept because it allows the teacher to have her course outlined online and this is easily accessible to students. The wiki allows students to be able to follow the lesson since it indicates what the students would be working at.  It helps the teacher to teach specifically what she wants the students to learn and they can learn at their own pace using a variety of materials provided. 
The students are also able to read comments posted by other people. Hence they will learn from a diverse group of individuals. 
I would use this method in my classroom because it allows for differentiation.  It also allows organization in the classroom and encourages a student-centered approach.  I would give this presentation a rating of 4.5 out of 5.
