I enjoyed researching, and definately reading everyone's input. I see the benefits of using a wiki such as this as better than face to face classroom sharing where sometimes, students will hold back their ideas for fear of confrontation. The wiki has been a good example of a productive pedagogy and has included all 8 strategies. The learning has been in a real context, collaborative and values different points of view.
This particular wiki however, has widely varied perspectives because of the range of teaching areas-primary, secondary, early childhood, TAFE. The 6 hats have been a useful tool in promoting full spectrum thinking where each of us looked at all side to the mobile phone issue. Although the Mobile Phone's were a parallel thought and thinking process, we were however coming from different age groups and this will always have varied responses and multiple solutions.
I am interested in using a Wiki for remote students. I feel they would share more and revisiting perspectives of others is very useful to learning. Certainly using the 6 hats in groups gives the students a systematic way to their parellel thinking and manages thinking in a particular direction at a time. This framework encourages collaboration and includes unique points of view and input from everyone.
The learning theory behind this weeks Wiki activity is Social Constructivism as we have constructed the Wiki collectively and from our own perceptions of experiences with Mobile Phones.
Thought these could be interesting to use!
