[|Technology Wiki]

Reflection:

The above link is to a technology wiki that was created as a project for my Instructional Applications of the Internet class. As a class we collaborated and created a Wiki that included information on all different kinds of technology and ways they can be used in education. We included links to websites, articles on effectiveness and examples of different technology uses. This wiki was a perfect example of how to participate in local and global communities. We evaluated different techology uses and reflected upon what types of technology might work best under certain situations. I enjoyed collaborating with my classmates and it was interesting to see how one person could present an idea and then have it turn into a whole page of information as we pooled our different experiences and knowledge.
