You mention that your lesson plan “outlines a lesson plan for veteran Project Officers to create wikis that can be utilized by their reliefs once it is their time to rotate to their next duty position.” Just so I can better understand what you mean, can you explain what that looks like? Is the wiki created by individuals in the class going to be used for jobs that these officers already have?
ReplyDeleteOne thing I really liked about this assignment was that it was something I thought I might be able to use later as a project outline. It sounds like that might be what you intend for your lesson plan too. Would the officers in this class end up with wikis that were comparable to each other, or would their jobs be varied enough that each wiki would be significantly different?
Hi Dusty,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reviewing your Project Officer lesson plan. What I enjoyed most was your use of Wiki technology. Unlike Wiki usage that I am familiar with, group project collaboration, your use of Wiki technology not only benefits current learners but also those who professionally replace these learners in the future. Your lesson plan uses Wikis as an educational resource for others, somewhat like a procedure/instructional manual.
What I like about this use of Wikis is that not only are the current learners learning through the creation and collaboration of the Wiki page, the page will be utilized in the future for someone else to learn from. All the Wikis I created in the past are just that, in the past. Not once have I viewed, updated, or referenced these pages since completing the project. While these projects were effective learning tools and opportunities for collaboration, once they were done, I was done with them. Your use of Wiki has a future purpose and future benefit, this I like!
I really enjoyed this week's blog topic because I have learned so many new and different ways to use Wiki technology. Your Wiki usage is very unique and beneficial because of its potential for the future, great lesson plan!
