Relection on the learning potential of a wiki

  1. Reflect on the learning potential of a wiki in your context, again be sure to write analytically rather than being just descriptive.

The learning potential of a wiki in my context

The learning potential of a wiki for me applies more to my Karate school than it does to the classroom. This is obviously a short term application of my newly learned wiki development skills (wiki development). But what a great way to develop those skills, by utilising the supportive environment of my Karate students for feedback, guidance and supportive learning.
Being able to practise, (wiki assist) the various techniques of providing access to students for their participation. I.e. linking files, videos, YouTube clips etc. is one thing, but to be able to converse/interact with students on a platform that is also shared with them is engaging.
This ICT utensil has classroom applications and is well supported by Wikispaces for the development of management processes for mitigation of miss-use and child protection issues.

As mentioned earlier (some other blog or wiki or something), the skill requirements for management of a classroom wiki may create some challenges, especially around child protection.
