Wikis

I personally like Wikis, i use it a lot when i have to write papers and i have to research people, places, or things. I has helped me a lot in learning new things and i understand things easier because it gets right to the point. I would use it in my classroom because the website is opened to anything you want to look up. It can also help in students with study guides, students staying in contact with each other, and group projects.

I think learning by conversing in learning communities can be more effective because having group members can help each other out if one doesn't understand something or there is someone there when something might go wrong. Finishing the project with more than one person can get done a lot quicker and the project could turn out really good because of every one's brilliant ideas.


I do think people think different because of their personality types. For example I have always been a creative person so my learning style is hands on and visual learner. I think you can tell by a persons personality what type of learner they are. I mean the athletes are going to be more interested in sports topics than political topics. i don't think it will help me with learning my students better because there is no test that tells you what type of learner you are only yourself and how you grew up on different types of learning styles.
