Wiki.
Website.
The above pictures are images of a website I created using Weebly.com and a wiki I created using WikiSpaces. These are both online websites where you can design your own websites and wikis for free.
Wiki
• An online space
• All users can edit, modify, add and remove information
• Encourage project collaboration
• Can be used at school and outside of school
• Provide flexible learning spaces for students to collaborate on a particular topic
• Not secure, anyone can add or change information
Website
• An online space
• The creator decides on the content and structure alone
• Only the creator can edit, modify, add and remove information
• Can be used at school and outside of school
• Is secure from other people adding or changing information
• Comment pages are available for others to comment and discuss information
• Ideal for uploading examples of students work and activities for students to complete.
I enjoyed creating my own wiki and website. Creating my own website and wiki made me reflect on how positive these tools could be as a learning manager. I like the idea of students creating their own wikis to collaborate on project ideas and information; I also like the idea of creating a website with activities and information (e.g. homework, assignment, newsletters and examples of work) for students to access. When comparing both tools I came to the conclusion that I prefer websites to wikis purely because no one else can edit the content, making it more secure for student use.
