Wikis



Our last lesson topic was on the wiki.
In general, I will share with you what is the wiki,  the comparison of the blog with the wiki and the benefits of the wiki.

Features of Wikis

*Every user can make changes on the wiki page.
*It provides its user to access information, add and correct information, create content and information documentation.

Wikis Vs Blogs

-Blogs are personal but wikis are open to everyone.
-The blog administrator chooses what to write about at his/her sweet will, but in wikis, everyone can share information about everything they want.


How are Wikis contribute to the development of language skills?

+ It improves students writing skill. Students select a topic and discuss this topic (they make a brainstorm on this) and a text generated by the students will emerge.
+Thanks to the dictionary option, students can increase their vocabulary, teachers can show the synonyms and antonyms of their words and their meanings thanks to this dictionary.
+Its greatest benefit, no doubt, is to provide a collaborative environment for the students.




Now is the time to tell my homework. I will share a book I read by creating a wiki page.  I will tell you the book, Frankenstein.
In general, I will start with its author, page numbers, genre and I will summarize the book and I will rate the book and give advice you for reading it.









From here you can create your own timeline.
You should absolutely read the Frankenstein book.
Take care of yourself!
