Wiki's and Personality Test ETEC 424-02

Wikis are so useful! The use of Wikis would allow students to show their creativity while writing. I especially like the editing and automatic grammar features offered. t's a constant peer review of content. They allow constant editing and changes so it is easy to edit ideas if one student suggest it to another. I think constructive criticism is okay amoungst peers, just as long as it is not hurtful.

I believe collaborative learning can be both beneficial and harmful. Some students learn better when they discuss options with their peers. Others tend to do well when they learn on their own with no interuptions, and I was that type of student. But, with growing diversity among students I think it would b a great idea to bring collaborative learning ( such as group discussions or blogs) to the classroom.

I took the personality test only to find out that it was right on target. I think that many students have many different learning styles. They could be visual, kinesthetic, auditory learners, and the list goes on and on. But, if they were to take that test then I would have a better idea of what kind of personality they had so I wouldn't go into the classroom completly blindfolded. It would benefit them if Iknew exactly the style of teaching I should use to accomadate them.
