Wikis

scyuen — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 03:51:46 CDT

A wiki is a webpage or set of webpages that can be easily edited by anyone who is allowed access (Ebersbach et al., 2006). In an educational context, wikis have an extremely practical role to play in allowing students and teachers to quickly and easily explore an area of knowledge, developing only as much structure as they need along the way. By placing structure at the service of content, groups of people have freedom to build on each other’s work and build up resources in a genuinely collaborative way.

Podcasts

Podcasting is a method of publishing audio files (usually MP3s) to the Web, which are then made available through subscription and automatically downloaded to a personal computer or portable MP3 player.

Blogs

The term web-log, or blog, was coined by Jorn Barger in 1997 and refers to a simple webpage consisting of brief paragraphs of opinion, information, personal diary entries, or links, called posts, arranged chronologically with the most recent first, in the style of an online journal (Doctorow et al., 2002). Most blogs also allow visitors to add a comment below a blog entry.

Web 2.0 in Education

scyuen — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 03:21:55 CDT

Over the past few years, we have witnessed a rapid growth in the use of Web-based technologies in each aspect of people’s daily life. The Web 2.0 applications, particularly blogs, wikis, and podcasts, have been increasingly adopted by many online professional and educational services. Because of their ease of use and rapidity of deployment, they offer the opportunity for powerful information sharing and ease of collaboration.

The Web 2.0 applications hold profound potentials in education because of their open nature, ease of use and support for effective collaboration and communication. They change the traditional view of human knowledge and open up more opportunities in teaching and learning. Teachers can use Web 2.0 tools attract students’ attention and enhance their learning experiences.

The “digital native” students have already found social networking tools integral to daily life. Marc Prensky pointed out from his article Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants, “Our students have changed radically. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach.” We should consider moving teaching and learning away from conventional methods by which students are told what to learn, when, where, and how. Instead, knowledge should be actively constructed and students should be made responsible for their own learning. The opportunity for instant and global publication of information, thoughts, opinions, and ideas is something our “digital native” students take for granted as normal and commonplace. Perhaps, we should also consider some of the Web 2.0 tools and integrate these tools in teaching and learning.

Web 2.0 Overview

scyuen — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 03:20:23 CDT

Web 1.0 applications typically consist of browsing and searching on the Internet, essentially a reading operation. In contrast, Web 2.0 applications, such as wikis and weblogs, allow users to read and also to write to the Web. Building on the read/write applications that have emerged in rich, interactive, user-friendly application platform, Web 2.0 has essentially transformed the Web from a Web page publishing venue to a global network community where every user is invited to create content. The Web’s shift from a tool of reference to one of collaboration, from passive to active, from consumer- to participant-oriented, allows teachers to use these tools to empower students and create exciting new learning opportunities.

Welcome to the Web 2.0 wiki. This wiki is created by Dr. Steve Yuen and Farid Mouzai at The University of Southern Mississippi as well as Xiaojing Duan at the University of Notre Dame. The purpose of this wiki is to document the Web 2.0 development, explore some of the Web 2.0 applications that have potentials in education, show examples of the Web 2.0 tools in teaching and learning, and provide suggestions on how these tools can be integrated into the classroom.

Web 2.0 Tools

Media Sharing

scyuen — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 17:42:22 CST

The resources being shared by web tools are not just limited to text, and the rise of systems for sharing, modifying and storing photo, video and audio - based content is set to accelerate.

Social Bookmarking

scyuen — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 17:33:30 CST

Tagging and social bookmaking is an extremely easy and effective way of sharing and filtering interesting links based on social networks. It allows people to subscribe to the bookmarks of others in their network or group, or to a particular ‘tag’ (keyword) assigned to bookmarks stored by others. Tagging and social bookmarking is ideally suited to classroom use as it enables groups to build up a collection of resources very easily around a particular topic such that each individual can benefit from the work of others.
