I strated the new wiki (foundation2-12) with my new group this semester just yesterday 08-03-2010. I got stuck not knowing how to show all the pages on the list :$ and how to hide the students’ pages from the main page. Prof helped me in and now I won’t forget to do them. I did forget because I didn’t try the last time we changed that last semester.
The students like the idea and enjoyed creating their voki yesterday. Some added more parts but complained that they vanished once they tried saving it. This is the same problme I had last term. I urged them to save stuff quickly not to face the same thing again.
I will not push them to do things but will let them enjoy using it instead of cramming them HW..I feel I will eventually drag them there
I adding the lesson as in the previous wiki to compare how things will go with these in comparison to the previous wikiers.
10-03-2010 Second session
Yesterday I had the students in the lab again to do their pre-writing test and I got them to write what they think of the wiki so far. Looking at what they wrote..most of them are enjoying it except for one who thinks it is hard to use! They are all ICT students so this should grow as their baby for the rest of the semester.
Two were frustrated to lose everything because either the machine or the network didn’t allow them to save their stuff..they eventually wrote everything again and were calm
Technology FABULOUS!!
I could see they they didn’t want to log out
and frankly speaking I was clicking to see the chnages in the discussion every minute
Just to see what they think of the whole thing.
