Weekly Readings: week 7

I must say that I was a little confused and befuddled while reading a few of the task readings for this week.  I am not sure if that was because I was sleepy while reading them or because the content just was not sinking in.  I read the article about collaborative editing and the seven uses pretty quickly and had to go back and re-read it.  I sure was glad I didn't skip over it and did go back! Collaborative editing is a great tool to use with a large group such as what we are doing in our class wiki.  I liked how the "owner" can give permission to others to edit however the edits are tracked and you can see who exactly does what.  This is a great way to have a whole class discussion and get students to think outside of the box while doing it.  With more and more students beginning to work online yet still be part of a public school system this tool is a great way to maintain a healthy balance between that student and the rest of the class.  Kids are online more and more each day so why not use the editing process to its fullest?
