Two weeks ago we looked at creating a Wiki. I had only ever heard of Wikipedia so was interested to learn more, after getting shown in class I felt that it was quite interesting. A Wiki is a space where you can share information and all edit. The following week I had research week and was set a task to do on Wiki.
We were put in groups of 4 and then given a username and password; we then had to create a group. We logged on to Wiki and created a group folder. The folder was named 'Education of the future in 20 years time' in that folder we created 4 other folders with each of our names. Mandy gave us a PowerPoint to guide us and wrote some bullet points that we had to discuss. Firstly we had a group discussion of each of the points and then wrote in our named folders what we think it would be like. We also edited the front page and added pictures and also edited the fonts and colours.
I found this a really successful task and that it a wiki would be very useful in the future for things such as organizing days out with friends.
This is a video that I found fascinating, its about technology of galss in the future, I feel that this shows what display panels in schools are going to be like.
