Mobiles in School - Wiki Reflection

Wow, what a response, so many individual thoughts and feelings about the topic.

Everyone was willing to share their thoughts on the topic. A collaborative mix of pros and cons. I found it interesting to see that most people overal had the same feelings. Technology is so amazing, to think that a piece of technology small enough to fit in your pocket can do the same as a regular computer (and more). Not too many years ago I remember my father bringing home his first computer, it was huge. I also remember his first mobile phone, it was the size of a large briefcase.

I am beginning to enjoy wikis, however I am very worried about deleting things or editing someone's work without knowing so I am very careful.

I think students' working collaboratively on a wiki is very useful. Wikis can involve as many students as the task requires. It requires patience from students who are more ICT literate. Wikis can encourage students to help each other with their learning and ICT skills because the students are all working toward a common goal - the completion of a task.

Learner managers have to support group work and supply options for solving group problems when they occur.
