This is a healthy activity in that as well as being able to accept criticisms, it forces you to now look at a different viewpoints and then engage in further research which brings new information to light whereby you are now in a better position to accept the person's position or refute the point by justifying why this is so.

But though it may be time consuming it ensures that the information shared is relevant and up-to-date. Information shared yesterday quickly changes and modifications may need to be adjusted to reflect such.

Well said naresh, our 21st century learners need to develop skills in learning to work collaboratively which facilitates their development for the world of work. Students need to develop tolerance, respect and teamwork as they work towards the completion of a project.

I support you fully here Katty. This is really my main issue with Wikis. Once someone's work has been published it can easily be deleted by another malicious user. This needs to be guarded against. Blogs on the other hand facilitates the protection of one's work, as it cannot be modified but simply commented upon.

Sherman i agree with the point you highlighted here. This means that there is no need to learn technical skills such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) which can be quite cumbersome for some users especially at the primary school level.

I would support the idea of using Wikis in the classroom. This facilitates the learner being the constructor of his/her learning. The learner would need to research, analyse and problem solve an area before the publish their contribution to the site. This make for a well informed and critical thinker who contributes to his learning.
