As I mentioned in my week 4 journal, it was a very interesting video since we learned the uses that Second Language teachers give Wikis. Teachers from Centro de Lenguas of UNAM include them as part of their classes. They mentioned that they dedicate the first class to present the course objectives to the students and to teach them how to use the Wiki and what they will have to write or find in it.
I believe it is a great tool for everyone, since the teacher will be able to cover more topics than the ones given in class or will be able to share with the students more information and/or exercises for them to do at home. For students, it is very useful since they will be able to see what the class was about in case they were not able to go to the class.
It is a little hard to include it in every language teaching program, however, I really hope we will be able to use them in the future.
For our Wiki, I believe it is a good idea to do what the teachers said, to write about the class, what we saw and the homework, just in case someone has missed it.
Hi Linda, I am glad you find Wikis interesting and useful for your teaching. Great class today.
