Week 7: Knowledge Sharing~

For this week lecture, we were introduced to some platforms that can be used for teaching and learning process. Those platforms are:

1- Wikis
2- Blog
3- Social networking
4- Media sharing


These four platforms are different from each other in terms of certain functions. However, they have the potential to provide knowledge for sharing. Moreover, these platforms allow communication to take place through instant chatting and feedback received as comments.


Among these platforms, I think that wikis are more suitable to be used for this knowledge sharing purpose. One example of wikis that can be used for knowledge sharing is Google sites.


The applications in wikis provide a new learning space for the students besides engaging in daily classroom learning. Wikis has the advantages whereby we can control the navigation and we can also add anything that we like such as videos, quizzes and many more.


Wikis has the potential to help teacher in giving additional information about certain topics taught in classroom. This would help students to enhance their learning especially in learning science. As mentioned earlier, a Google site is one good platform for teaching science. Moreover, Google sites provide a space for students to have online discussion with teachers and also their peers.


This is an example of using Google sites for teaching and learning process.




This Google site is used for my PKEY 3101.
