Wikispaces are an extremely helpful online tool both for learning
and organization. For project based purposes, the teacher can begin the
wikispace by posting some learning content and then ask the class to add more.
By adding links, many students can contribute to the wikispace at a time and
very much like Wikipedia, it can be edited as well. An instructor could assign
certain topics to groups and have them update the page over time to see their
progress. For organizational purposes, wikispaces greatly benefit both students
and teachers. Reason being, information such as when assignments are due or
scheduling can all be posted on a wikispace. This way, class time will not be
wasted by going over what is already posted online. Also, students and teachers
could grab information such as the student handbook, handouts, guides or flyers
to events on the wikispace itself. Wikispaces certainly contribute a lot
organization to students and teachers alike, as well as include a lot of course
content for the students and for this reason I would definitely implement it
into my future classroom.
