Web 2.0 Blog—WikiSpace
The Web 2.0 tool I researched was WikiSpace. This free tool allows individuals to create simple web pages that groups can edit. The link to this tool is http://www.go2web20.net/app/?a=WikiSpace. Currently teachers are using this in many ways. One tip that was suggested on the WikiSpace tool page was for students to create a wikified research paper. The students created a WikiSpace page with their research paper, and then linked their sources using the wiki. The students also incorporated videos and pictures on their space. Wiki pages are also being used for educational web conferencing. Presenters are able to post information and videos on wiki pages before conferences to help facilitate learning and provide resources for the future. An example of this is discussed in this blog post, http://itselementary.edublogs.org/2008/02/26/its-elementary-show-14-conferences-20-style/comment-page-1/#comment-22.
