=It's always beneficial to talk with students about their web 2.0 experiences. What do they find really useful,engaging, frustrating .. about working in online environments?= This is a place for students to contribute.

Hi I'm Kieran, I'm 10 and I'm in Mr Laidlaw's class. We've only been using our class wiki for a couple of weeks but I think it's really interesting because it's a place where you can send messages whenever you like so you can keep in touch with your class friends after school and at weekends and holidaysetc. I also think you can do different things in it than our learning caves because you can put your own stuff up there.

We have been using wikis in our class for nearly a year now. We started last year, and from then on it has become a great place were we can ask the teacher questions about things after school has finished. It is a great place for displaying group work, and even individual work. On our class blog, we have all the English work that the class has been given, plus the term calender and term news letter etc etc. Also, it isn't just your class mates and teachers who can see you work, the whole world can so you get different feed back from different people.

Our class have been using wikis for almost a year. It was a great way to connect with people around the world. Wikis are really useful for displaying individual and group work. When I work on a wiki, I get real frustrated because I might make a spelling mistake without knowing it and then just show that mistake to the world. But now I know that everyone makes mistakes which makes me forget about the spelling mistakes. The great things about wikis is that you just get to connect with new people from all around the world.

As Jayden and Christina said our class have been using wikis/blogs for quite a while now, I think that they are a great and effective way to interact with different people, they are also a good way of cutting down the amount of paper used within the classroom. Wikis and blogs are also helpful in other ways, they are a way of improving your skills in different areas of school curriculum as you can receive feedback and ideas from different people. Overall I think all schools should get involved with wikis and blogs as they are an awesome way to connect and share with new people all around the world. [|Taleta]

I have only just started on my blog this year and so far I am really enjoying it. I think it is a really great way to experience how we use computers today. I think wikis/blogs are a great place to share your personal class work to the world. They are really useful for getting a term newsletter or finding out what we are doing for maths or english. Wikis are good for asking questions and sharing what you think about things. Wikis/blogs are overall very useful and a good way to connect with people from the same town or even across the sea.

As Christina said we have been using wikis for about a year now. I think that wikis are better blogs in some ways because it is easier to collaborate on a wiki rather than a blog. They are great to use for group work, as information can easily be put onto the wiki. On our class wiki we put our English and Maths work which cuts down the issue of lose paper in our class. Its great because not only can your teachers and class mates see your wiki everyone else in the world can look and comment on them to. Wiki's are a great way for to collaborate and share information with your class and the rest of the world. I really think that every one should have a wiki because they really useful way to connect.

I've only been using wikis and blogs for since the start of this year but I have really enjoyed it. I have just started to used things like skype and msn. just recently I explained to a teacher how to use video messaging. I think that blogs are better than wikis because they are easer to set up you can do almost the same thing as wikis. I think that schools should start to get into blogs and wikis now because it is predicted that by the year 2009 every thing you type will be saved to the web. [|Iain]

This is my first year using blogs and wikis and i have been enjoying it so far.I think that it is good that we are getting used to them now because i think they will be used alot more in the future. I like using the blogs because I can get peoples thoughts about my work and it allows me to learn from the mistakes they may have pointed out. I also think that students put more effort into there work knowing that it is being judged by the world. As Taleta said all schools should start to interact with blogs and wikis. [|Sarah]

This is my first year in using blogs and wikispace. I have probably used the internet in blogs and wikispaces this year more than I have used the internet all my life. I think that using more computers more is saving the paper we would have used. I think having our blogs or wikis to put our work on is quite amazing. Having our own Blog or wiki is really cool because you can show people eg.parents your work before you take books home to show them the work you have done in the month. Corey

I've been using wikispaces since last year and I have found many benefits such as being able to read other peoples thoughts and express my own. I think that the internet is good because anyone with internet access can find the page, I find good because it means I can do things no matter where I am. At first using wikispaces was quite difficult for me as I really wasnt very good with computers, now though its really great I am becoming very good at using the net and blogs and wiki's. [|Rochelle]

I've just started using wikis and blogs in my work and I am really enjoying it. Wikis have so many uses. When you have a problem you can ask the teacher your questions and she'll get back to you as soon as she gets the message. Wikis are really good for school work because the teacher puts notices on the wiki and you can get it when ever you want. Wikis are a any time any where kind of thing. The only annoying thing about wikis are that two people can't be commenting on the wiki at the same time or it will delete them. [|Kelly]
