Media release March 2009 National ICT agency, Education.au, releases new report on the impact of collaborative learning and technology If your memory of school is rows of desks with a teacher up the front telling you what you need to know, a new report from the nationally-owned information and communications technologies agency, Education.au, suggests that collaborative learning is changing how and where we learn. Collaborative learning is about groups of students, and groups of students and tea[..]

I played in the wikispaces site and decided I had enough information
to have a go at using this in my classroom. I created a private
site and added my students as members -the bulk upload of
id/email/password combinations made things easy.
The group I was using was a year 10 Information Technology class.
The students were excited by the new experience, even though one of
them was at pains to let me know that he knew
far more about wikis than I did even if he admitted he didn't

I was quite excited to 'have a go' at making a wiki
following the u-tube video showing how easy and helpful it is for
communicating in a group situation via the internet.
With only 2 weeks until the Yr 12 exams, one of
which is a home study week, I decided to make one just for my
Biology class. I used wikispaces for teachers and the step-by-step
guide was so easy to follow. Before I knew it I had made a wiki! To
be corny I should say that my Wiki was very wiki! [..]

thus far have been somewhat disappointing.
It is not a case of not being unsatisfied with my wiki. I'm quite

My project is finally starting to take shape. I've set the students
the task of collaboratively creating a summary/revision tool for their
upcoming Humanities exam, and we're commencing this week. I was
inspired by the teacher in the earlier readings who had such success
with a similar project, and this also reflects a current need for my
student group. And, as has been said by many people before, technology
should be the best answer to a real need, not just gadgets tacked on
to cr[..]
