Report+on+creating+wikis+1

This was the very first wiki I created and there's no stopping me now! I chose wikispaces as a colleague here uses them and it seemed logical to use the same site - makes it easier for our students if the teachers here use the same site. It was very easy to set up and with each one you create, you can try out new things. There are six video tours which really explain in simple language: []
 * When it comes to posting for this task, post a small report on your wiki – how easy is it to set up, as a course teacher/ tutor how easy is it to manage, what things do you need to consider to encourage people to use it and so on, how does the role of tutor work with a wiki? **
 * Ease of setting up:**

After this one, I started some wikis which I have used with my IELTS classes (Academic and General Training). I included basic information about the IELTS test and put links which takes students to free online practice. The aim of creating these wikis was to provide students with extra practice activities they can do at home. Very often I've given students links in class but have never been able to check whether they've actually done the tasks or not. With the wikis you can see who has accessed the particular pages, so I'm assuming that that student has actually clicked on the link and done the work. Colleagues at work asked to be included on the wikis and have started getting e-mail lists of their students who I've added to my wikis so it's becoming more popular here at BC Jordan.

They are still quite basic and I want to explore how to add more - such as images and audio - but one step at a time. I also want to encourage my students to contribute to the wikis making them truly interactive.

I'm giving an INSETT in December so colleagues can start creating their own wikis :)
