Wiki's

Wiki's are different to blogs, in the way that many people can access one Wiki site to edit it and add to it. I myself am not very confident with using Wiki's. The reason for this is that when participating in an activity in class everyone was editing the same page at the same time. When the page was saved those that saved first were overwritten by those who saved after. Though it is less likely to happen if students were in smaller groups and editing different pages it still has a chance of happening to students. The positive side to wiki's is that you are able to undo changes that have been made. All in all, I believe that Wiki's are not the best way for students to complete their assignments. This is because the students are able to delete others work without permission and those who do not have access to the internet all the time and so are at a disadvantage.
