Description
The use of collaborative tools such as wikis and blogs has increased substantially in teacher education in recent years. This interactive session explores how wikis can be used in a teacher education program to enhance student involvement in their own learning processes and in the integration of technological and pedagogical content knowledge. Products from the course, Current Issues in Gifted Education, are shared to demonstrate the power of a wiki in collaborative research and writing, creative use of multimedia, and critical peer evaluation. The presentation features the perspective of the student as well as that of the instructor.
