What is Web 2.0?
1. Web 1.0 is “first generation web” (Cormode & Krishnamurthy, 2008)
– “Read-only”– One way communication.
2. Web 2.0 is a term coined in 2004– characterizing a transition to a “read-and-
write” Web 2.0 (McManus, 2005).

What is Web 2.0?
• "Web 2.0" is perceived as a second generation of web development and web design (Wikipedia). It is also called “participatory webparticipatory web”.
• Web 2.0 includes social networks (e.g., Facebook, My Space), media sharing (e.g., YouTube, Flickr), social bookmarking (Delicious, CiteULike), collaborative knowledge construction (Wikipedia), creative works (podcast, blogs), and microblogs (Twitter).

What Is a Wiki?
• A wiki, as a form of participatory web, is an online collaborative writing tool (West & West, 2009).
• See the video.• Wiki is getting particularly popular in
educational settings. • There are two commonly used sites:
– www.pbworks.com/ – www.wikispaces.com/

How Are You Using PBworks?
• We've created a collaborative environment that allows teachers and students to see multiple models of outstanding writing. Prior to using the workspace, teachers who wanted to highlight a well-written student response, needed to first copy it and then, make a transparency. Frequently, the text was illegible in places and because of the amount of work involved and time constraints only one or two student models were displayed.
• We know from research that the more student models writers see, the more rich and well-written responses we receive. PBworks provides the means for students to view multiple models 24/7 and as a result, to independently assess and improve their written responses. In addition, the collaborative environment facilitates the development of peer review and editing skills.

Example of Collaboration
In example, In the class wiki, a page was created with a list of website links (possible sources for innovative uses of technology). An assignment, “Webliography” was designed as a class collaboration project.

Example of Leaving Comments
• A student create an individual wiki for posting her projects. – Invite and give permission to their
classmates for sharing and leaving comments.

Teaching and Learning Using Wikis
• Step 5: Term Project: A unit of lesson plans with innovative uses of technology.– Post the unit;– Critique each other’s unit.

Example of Learning Blogs
• Individual learning blogs and reflection in her wikis throughout the whole course.

Issues Related to Teaching and Learning through Wiki
• While teaching the course, we encountered the following issues:
• Students’ confidence and skills in using technology in general and wiki in particular plays a key role for the success of the learning.
• Wikis enhance students’ participation and creative practice (Greenhow, 2009).
![Page 17: Saturday, December 05, 2015 1 Creating Wikis to Enhance K-12 Teaching Dr. Ming Zhang Central Michigan University CT Conference, March 22, 2010.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649f555503460f94c79223/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Issues Related to Teaching and Learning through Wiki
• Communication among students plays a key role to successful learning.
• There might be unexpected changes in the features provided by the free wiki service.
• Students share more responsibilities in learning. • Accessing to classmates’ wiki is not only an
platform of learning and information source but also creating peer pressure when some classmates did and posted an outstanding webliography assignment.

In the process of teaching and interaction with students, we have the following observations:
• Wiki is effective in supporting collaborative creativity.
• Wiki has various functions catering distance education.
• Students could feel isolated when faced technical problems.

Observations of Learning and Teaching Using Wikis
• Making screen movie clips using Jing (screen casting) is a very effective and efficient way of solving technical and procedural problems.
• Learning experience of using wiki is not even among students.
• Students feel a strong support by their peer in the wiki learning community.
• Students’ blog is an effective tool for reflection on learning.
