Day 4 - Wikis, blogs and more
Blogs versus Wikis
What's a Wiki?
A wiki is a type of website that allows users to easily add and edit content and is especially suited for collaborative writing (Wikipedia). That means that on typical wikis, anyone can edit anything at anytime. Fun! Because of how open most wikis are, many educators find them a bit tough to deal with.
Wiki Uses
• Easy, simple website
• Easy group authoring
• Data collection
• Projects
• Reviews
• Presentations
• Professional collaboration
Wikis in Plain English Check out the site and the subtitling demo.

Digital Students @ Analog Schools
I attended a BLC06 conference last summer and keynote Marco Torres, was a keynote. In one of his smaller sessions he showed a great movie clipped and asked the audience to promote and share it. Movie: Digital Students @ Analog Schools Students today are native to technology and schools seem to be stuck in the past. They are not accommodating to todays digital learners. Here is a video where students speak out on what it means to be a digital student at a analog school.
Web 2.0 The Machine is us/iing us
This video was created by Mike Wesch and posted on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g However as youtube continues to be blocked in many schools I also found it in TeacherTube.
