Week Five (5)

"Wiki" was a term that I was quite unfamiliar with, however, I had heard my college age daughter use it. That gave me a clue that it was some type of technology that I hadn't experienced yet. The videos were very informative and easy to understand. I believe that Wiki's can be very useful in many situations. I know for a fact that college students use them to complete classroom group projects and I am fairly certain that the students are very adept at using them. Saving alot of paper is one great "green" attribute for these Wiki's. As for using them in a PE setting, I don't believe that they would benefit the teacher/parent/student relationship. A blog would be more useful for that situation. Wiki's could serve a purpose for PE teachers across the district in sharing ideas and asking questions. Also, if the Athletic Director wanted to keep up with what was going on, he could check the Wiki to see what was happening and if there were any issues he needed to address. I don't think there would be any difference in regards to ease of use.
