Week 4

This was an exhausting week since we only went to school two days. :P  However, our Monday's CALL class was very interested.  We saw a video from UNAM that talked about the importance of having a WIKI in class.  We sometimes use them in different subjects and for me, they are a little confusing, however, they are useful.  We may have access to information outside of class, since of course, it is hard to cover all the important aspects of a subject in 4 hours a week.  

Teachers who have been using Wikis said they have been of great help since students have responded well towards using them.  Of course it was hard at first, because we all are afraid of changes, but now, as students practice using them (like we have been practicing too) it is getting easier every day.

I believe it is of great importance to be able to have access to the information covered in class.  Like the teachers mentioned in the video, if it was not possible for a student to assist to the class, he/she can enter to the Wiki and check the what the objectives of the class were, the exercise made in class and of course, the homework.  However, I think it is hard to include this kind of tool into every teaching program.  I honestly think it is not possible for me to have one with my students for policy reasons, however, I really hope that this may become possible one day.
