Wiki Wiki Wiki

Wiki Wiki Wiki, could be lyrics to a new Snoop Dog song? Is it Ruben Wiki – the all time great New Zealand Rugby League player? I have to admit these were my first two thoughts when I saw the word ‘WIKI”. In the name of professional practice I dived in to see what a wiki is and how it will assist my teaching. Rob ‘To sink or swim in the deep pool of web 2.0 technologies’ posted a great description of his introduction into wiki’s and I must agree that they too are now my favourite web 2.0 technology so far. The article by Brian Lamb (2004) gives a great insight into how wiki’s can become a valuable tool in teaching practice. My KLA involves Business Studies where students are required to write and write in a competent manner. Wiki’s definitely demonstrate the ability to promote reading, writing and editing. Therefore I see wiki’s as another valuable tool for teachers to fight literacy problems.
