I have to say week 4 has been the most excited one in this course so far. The overwhelming choice of edutube over youtube was excellent. Also, everyone seems to agree that wiki should not be used as a primary source to collect information, to which I am in agreement. I respect professor Vander Velde for accepting his students to use wiki.as a text book, he added extra duty to his workload by making sure he verified the information his students gather from wiki. Somebody always find a way to mention how much we depends on technology nowadays in education. Professor Brabazon from the Argus echoed the same sentiment I share, the use of technology has become an evangilical zeal.
We can use technology and engage the mind at the same time.
Agree that the teacher who created the wiki probably increased his workload for that course, in the future though he may have saved time if the wiki is updated from year to year.
