I didn’t have a good beginning learning how to work on Wikis. The instructions on
the package were very confusing for me, so I wasn’t able to properly follow
them. In class, I also had trouble following what we’re doing. To me, it was a
lot of instructions and work for a short period of time. Plus moving from one
website to another website is not easy for me; so I had trouble going from opening
an account in one website to transferring a word document to google docs and
read information in another website to going back to the first website and
follow more instructions from the website and the package. I lot of
instructions and work. However, I learned that all these difficulties are part
of the process of learning in this course and that sometimes we do not have to
finish all the work in class. If there is something we are not able to complete
in class, we can work on it outside the class. What was very helpful for me
regarding all the work we had to do was our course section’s website, which has
an outline of everything we need to do.

What went also well was that I did learn how to create my own workspace and personal
wiki page, which I can share with others. Therefore, even though this assignment
was confusing at first, it was also a good practice to learn about wikis. Now,
during the second class working on Wikis, everything went much better, as our
instructor went step by step showing how to do certain things in our Wiki. So,
I was able to finish my wiki page this time. Now, next time, in order to do
better in class, I will not only read the instructions of the corresponding
assignment before class but I will also try to make sure those instructions
make sense to me before class.

I'm considering using this tool in my professional practice and/or instruction with
students by making groups and assigning each group some math exercises to be
done collaboratively on wiki pages. In this way, students do not have to be in
the same place and/or at the same time to work corroboratively on their group
homework and keep learning after class. Instead, to do their homework in
groups, students only need a computer and an internet connection.
