In conclusion, from the research I have done from this project I strongly believe that Wik's are important in the classroom. As most research states that Wiki's offer social collaboration which is important in today's constructivist society. Learning is important to be child centred and Wiki's offer this as the children are in control and have responsibility for what they put on their blog knowing that it is going to be sensible for the topic at hand.
As you have seen, yes there are negatives to Wiki's however we can move past this if we put procedures in place to stop the negative outcomes. For example as I have stated with the internet security, if we make sure the parents are aware and the teacher's closely monitor the students progression then this issue should not be a problem.
As you can see there are more positives about Wiki's than there are negatives. This a great thing considering out student's are growing up in a technological era where technology and e-learning is going to be a big part of their lives.
Therefore I strongly believe that Wiki's are an important part of childrens learning and should be used in the classroom as much as possible and where appropriate.
Thank you for reading my blog! : )
