Synopsis - Connectivism and Constructivist Theories evident

I found setting up a Wiki, (mfdcscience.wikispaces.com) to be a useful task. The wiki was very helpful when practicing the Quizz for Assessment 1. I participated in the Mobile Phone exercise. I have also been into the Science lecturers wiki several times. I consider a Wiki a Constructivist type of learning whereby you learn socially when sharing your opinion and research on the site. Explicit examples were offered on the Wiki's for the learners to use and learn from. Students could upload shared research for others to use. There were many benefits for learning. Scaffolding and collaborating helped to build on my knowledge using these sites. Connectivism's learning theory was also evident. Lecturers have set up wiki's to be used by students. The high standard of presentation of the wiki encourages the student to participate at a higher level. Wiki's will be very useful for my students of Mudjimba Family Day Care to do science, sose and art assignments in School Age Care. I am looking forward to utilising this Wiki.
