Educational Wikis

In this course, you were given the opportunity to explore Internet resources on wikis for educational purposes and to participate in a real-world web-based collaborative educational experience on the topic of "Cyber Safety and Ethics" working in small groups and using the PBwiki tool. Now is a good time to reflect on your experience with wikis thus far. Please post a "comment" in response to the following questions (and support your responses):

1. Of the wiki resources that you have explored, discuss one wiki education example, one wiki resource, and one wiki tool that was most relevant and interesting to you as an educator. (include webpage titles, authors/organizations, and URLs)
   
   
2. Describe your experience in participating in the wiki group collaboration project on the topic of Cyber Safety and Ethics. Was it a positive experience? Were there challenges that you and your group had to overcome?
   
   
3. Can you think of specific wiki applications that would be worthwhile to use with students in a subject area that you teach?
   
   
4. Do you think wikis are a useful Web 2.0 tool to engage students of the Net Generation in learning? (please explain)
