Hello everyone! I hope you are all fine. Well this week, I created a wiki page about my favorite book which is name is "Hunger" by Knut Hamsun. I summarized the plot using my own information and gathering information from other websites. I also explained why I recommend it to our followers in a few words, also i shared some videos about the book. Now, I want to mainly speak of advantages and disadvangates of wiki. Firstly it is good to enhance students' technological and reseach skills.Since creating a wiki requires blended information from other sources. It also improves writing skills in that you cannot just copy and paste from whatever website you gather information. There must be a consistency between the quoted passages and your own sentences. In addition to them, it is cut out for collaborative group works, students don't have to be in the same place to work in groups, they can chance and add something the whatever place they want. Final thing to say about advantages from my point of view is that students are going to proud of see what they have done and they are going to show it the other persons, such as family members and their friends. Even myself, seeing my own wiki completed, I showed it to my roommates, saying, "Look what I have done, Do you want to see my lovely wiki about my favorite book!!!"
Well, let's get to its disadvangages. Unfortunately, wikis can be changed by anyone. This "anyone" can be who has false and preconceived information about the subject and thus it results in information pollution in our students' minds which we never want as teachers. And its changeableness also delete our work we make effort for a long time for ever, if we have no copy of it.
Thoso were my thoughts about wikis. Now I will share my wiki page. I hope you all like it. Hope to see your comments also. Good bye!
