Student Handout - Worksheet: What Are Wikis?

What are Wikis?image.png

Wikis are Web sites developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content. Wikipedia is an example of an open encyclopedia.
However, not all wikis are encyclopedias. They can be used among a family to update family members about life events. They could be used by corporations for employees to post on topics and expertise.



Lesson - Wise Use of Wikis

Students learn about wikis, and they explore the beneficial uses of wikis in education. They use wiki technology to publish written work including links to online sources and digital media. Students plan, revise, edit, and incorporate peer feedback to produce quality written work based on an identified audience and purpose. Students adopt e-Safety and responsible use guidelines while engaged in this technology-based project.

Lesson - Multitasking and Technology

Students discover that research dispels the concept of multitasking. They learn that the brain cannot truly focus on two tasks at once but rather must switch focus quickly from task to task. They then make applications to safety issues such as texting and driving, and academic issues related to studying while listening to music or watching videos.

COPPA LAWS: Protecting a Child’s Right to Privacy

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act is a set of laws, passed in 1998, that protects the online privacy of persons under the age of 13. Online service providers must notify parents and gain consent before collecting personal identifying information (e.g. name, birthdate, age, gender) from children. Additional identifying information includes geolocation data (GPS); images, videos, and audio files of the child’s voice; Web browser cookies; a mobile device identifier (IMEI number); and the IP address of a computer or device.
