I'm in the process of setting up a wikki for my students. I love the way it works for the children- the notion that each student can contribute to the familiar topic by sharing ideas that are available for all to view instantly. Who would have envisaged this when I went to primary school? Because the topic is the focus of a wikki, students can work collaboratively and produce amazing ideas and information on the topic. I'm beginning my wikki by assigning each child a part of the task which they will contribute to the group wikki.
A ning seems more of a community based web tool. It's a great support network for groups of people to share ideas, information and resources. I have now joined the St. Luke's school community that are part of the iLearn ning. It's interesting exploring this site.
Web 2 can assist in improving learning outcomes for all students by providing a variety of web based tools that engage, excite, motivate and stimulate all types of learners. The manner in which these tools are presented allows all learners to access the curriculum and beyond by providing visual, audio and interactive learning experiences- experiences that can be life long.
