 * 44) Wikis
 * 45) Wikinomics • In the last few years, traditional collaboration—in a meeting room, a conference call, even a convention center—has been superceded by collaborations on an astronomical scale. http://www.wikinomics.com/
 * 46) What is a Wiki? • A wiki is a type of free on-line writing space that allows users to add, modify and update its pages. • If something is missing or incorrect in a wiki and permissions allow you to edit the wiki, you can easily add your thoughts or make changes to the wiki. http://www.teachinghacks.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wikis
 * 47) Philosophy of Wikis • The process is the product. – Meaning is developed and guided out of the social interactions at the point where text is created. • One of the most obvious benefits of using a wiki is the ability to offer a quick way to collaborate textually, while creating a content rich web site. – Where the knowledge of the group is greater than an individual, and the end product is the result of the groups interactions. http://www.teachinghacks.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wikis
 * 48) Application of New Literacies • Appropriation — the ability • Judgment — the ability to to meaningfully sample and evaluate the reliability and remix media content credibility of different information sources • Multitasking — the ability to • Transmedia Navigation — scan one’s environment and shift focus as needed to the ability to follow the flow salient details. of stories and information across multiple modalities • Distributed Cognition — the • Networking — the ability to ability to interact meaningfully with tools that search for, synthesize, and expand mental capacities disseminate information • Collective Intelligence — • Negotiation — the ability to the ability to pool travel across diverse knowledge and compare communities, discerning notes with others toward a and respecting multiple common goal perspectives, and grasping and following alternative norms. Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture: Media Education for the 21st Century - Henry Jenkins
 * 49) Tracking Changes
 * 50) Tracking Changes
 * 51) What the Experts are Saying • Wikis are helping young people develop “writing skills and social skills by learning about group consensus and compromise—all the virtues you need to be a reasonable and productive member of society.” – Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia
 * 52) What the Experts are Saying • “The media is controlled by people who have the resources to control it,” he says. “Wikis show that all of us have an equal opportunity to contribute to knowledge.” – Andy Garvin, head of the Digital Divide Network
 * 53) Ways to Use Wikis • Use for student projects where group members need to contribute at different times and from geographically diverse locations. • Use for collaborating on ideas and organizing documents and resources from individuals and groups of students. • Use as a presentation tool where those who attend a workshop can contribute to future versions of the workshop. • As a group research project for a specific idea. • Manage school and classroom documents. http://www.teachinghacks.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wikis
 * 54) Ways to Use Wikis • Use as a collaborative handout for students. • Writing: student created books and journaling. (i.e. Wikibooks) • Create and maintain a classroom FAQ • As a classroom discussion and debate area. • A place to aggregate web resources. • Choose a topic on Wikipedia, break the topic into facts, students verify the facts using their information literacy skills, and make changes accordingly (Citing sources). http://www.teachinghacks.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wikis
