My First Wiki Page: It Was Fun!

Hello, everyone! In this post, I will talk about my first wiki page creation experience.

First of all, I was not alone while creating my first wiki page. My partner was Buse, she is one of my classmates. We worked on it and created the page together. You can go to her blog by clicking here.

Our first task on the wiki page was to write a film review for the Educational Technologies course. As I mentioned, we did this assignment in groups of two. We had the right to choose any movie we wanted for this assignment.

So, Buse and I chose the movie "Detachment" to watch, in which a temporary high school teacher named Henry plays the lead role. Afterwards, we watched this movie by taking notes. We organized the notes we took and decided the points we wanted to emphasize while creating the wiki page. At the end, we created the page by following the instructions given by our teacher. Of course, in the meantime, we did research about the movie and added some visual elements such as pictures and trailer videos.

As someone who already likes to write, I found this process fun and comfortable. It was a valuable experience to put my own ideas into words about a movie I watched, to support the content with images, and especially to work with a partner. It was easier to exchange ideas because my peer, Buse was one of my close friends.

In short, I think wikis are really useful as creative writing tools because they are guiding and even instructive in many different language areas such as vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure. Therefore, I think this tool is an important and reasonable option to improve students' writing skills.

That’s all from me for now. I hope you enjoyed reading this post. Take care, see you soon! 💜
