=Hello Class! = =Web 2.0 Presentation =

Today I will be explaining how to use two different types of wikis.

Definition: - Wikis are websites developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content.

The two wikis I am going to focus on today is this one which I am using right now called Wiki Spaces. The second will be PB works workspaces.

Wiki spaces like this one can be used several different ways. - A teacher can use this as a spot to post assignments - It is a simple way to keep everything in one place. Having a webpage such as this one can be helpful as a resource for students. (Very similar to blackboard but much easier to use.) - Teachers can make pages specific  to the topic of lesson and provide resources such as links and videos for the students. As well as posting the assignments that correlated to that lesson. - Students can use this as well to add their resources they have found on the internet - The discussion tab allows the students easy access to ask questions not only to the teacher but to other students as well. - The discussion tab can also be used to as a way for teachers to get feedback from students about assignments and such. - Anyone can make changes to the pages and an administrator can limit how much control others have as well. <span style="color: #8c168d; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">- There is an option that a student or a teacher can choose to be notified when certain actions occur on the wiki as well.
