Week-2 Virtual Collaboration EDU 651

Wiki Wiki Wiki was the theme of Week-2. It was an interesting week of learning because I had to rethink everything I thought I knew about the world of wikis. I learned how wikis could add an enormous amount of variety to the learning and collabrative experience for students and collaborative efforts in the work place as well. We had to create 3 possible wiki projects to frame, which was very interesting in itself. The ideas forced me to truly think about ways to solve problems in my current academic environment. We carefully examined the pitfalls of wikis, which we quickly gathered that careful planning, managing and monitoring would help eliminate many of those pitfalls.

This week is primarily about putting the 2.0 to action. We were assigned to create our blog, twitter and PBworks accounts and begin utilizing those tools.

I will admit, as a novice and past skeptic, I am extremely nervous about this wiki project but looking forward to doing something new.

Stay tuned because this is going to get better.
