When I read this article I thought that it is amazing the amount of resources that we can find online, where students can practice different skills, such as wiki, which is a website where anyone can add a comment. These types of websites really help students to practice their writing, and it is a great tool for teachers to leave any activity, whether it is evaluated or not. Besides, as it is not common students really like to use it.
I really like the idea of using Wiki because students are free to write what they think and they are practicing their writing skills too.
Besides, I think that we as teachers can change the theme of this online activity in order to make it more meaningful, for example, instead of giving them the whole task only for them to add the aspects that they have chosen, we can provide the topic and they decide for the points they think are appropriate to that topic. In addition, that helps them to improve their relationship between classmates, because while they are doing this project they share ideas and communicate both outside and inside the classroom.
Hello Wendy, I agree with you, the Wikis in classrooms provides that students increase their writing, and it has many options to develop that skill, and it also as you said make that students feel free and comfortable to add a comment about the things that they think or ask doubts about any activity that they have to do or simply they enjoy the communication and activities with others through Wikis. As a teacher we have to think how is the best form to use this resource and how students can develop their writing skill through different forms on the website.
