Utilização de Blogs e Wikis no contexto educacional...
...
First the Internet turned colleges upside down, extending classrooms and changing the way people learned. Next came Napster and other file-sharing tools, then Web logs. Now blogs are morphing into the next big thing on campus: wikis.
The wiki, which got its name from the Hawaiian word for "quick," is the scrappy little brother to the blog, an interactive Web page that can be changed by anyone who stumbles upon it. While blogs let people publish their thoughts online, wikis take things a step further, creating freewheeling, collaborative communities: Students can edit one another's work, bounce ideas around or link to infinite other Web sites.

Students in sophomore Craig Kessler's English class got hooked, and he said they became closer and more engaged than in any class he has taken. When the semester ended this winter, students asked the professor, David Lipscomb: Could they keep writing the blog?
Lipscomb quickly found he had to put limits on the posts -- some students wrote so much that he could hardly keep up. Most professors who use blogs and wikis said they set ground rules early on and act quickly to stamp out problems.
As the technology goes mainstream, universities will have to think about libel and intellectual property issues, Kirschenbaum said.
Now there are wikis here and there cooked up by whiz-kid professors and students, but he thinks schools soon will build frameworks. Georgetown's Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship hopes to offer faculty wikis-made-easy technology by the fall semester.
What else is ahead? Maybe wikis to go. At American University this fall, students posted updates from political events to "moblogs" with their mobile phones. Jones predicts that kind of thing will happen more, as gizmos make it easier to write and send photos and videos from anywhere.
Milad Doueihi, a communications and contemporary society instructor at Johns Hopkins, said that this summer, students will be able to listen to his lectures anytime: He will broadcast them on the class wiki using his iPod -- a technology called -- what else? -- podcasting.
