Wikis, conversing, personality

I think wikis is something than can be used to obtain some information. The problem with wikis is that anyone is allowed to change or alter the definition of information about any given title. So if students were to look up something how would you know if they are getting the correct information or not. I personality do not think I would be able to use this in my own classroom, I would rather know the students are getting 100% correct information.

I believe conversing is a more effective way of students learning information. Not only are they not bored to death by the teacher just talking for a long while but they are also getting to interact with their peers. I believe working in small groups makes student more kind to others around them and helps them learn about new people they normally wouldn’t talk to. Two classrooms needs to set up a lesson plan one that is a traditional classroom and the other is the conversing classroom. At the end of the semester see what students learned more information and how they retained it.

I strongly believe that students have different learning styles because of their personalities. I think that personality test was spot on with my own personality. I will have each student take that test because I do believe it will help be understand them a lot more. I will be able to adjust to students needs and will be able to stick them into groups that will work well together.
