1. “The best thing we can teach our children
is how to teach themselves”
(Intellectual 11)
Janaína Weber Lívia da Fonseca Luciane Trigo Thaís Alencar

2. “Wiki is a Hawaiian term meaning „fast‟.”
“A Wiki is a combination of a Web site and a Word
document.”
“ Wiki helps us capture a community‟s knowledge and
collect it into a manageable format, making it accessible to
everyone.”
(BELL, 2009, p. 143)

3. “Wikis are Web sites that anybody can edit, if the moderator
desires.”
“Wikis are easy to use so you
can create or edit the actual
site contents without any
special technical knowledge or
tolls.”
(BELL, 2009, p. 144)

4. “A wiki has the ability to keep track of the history of a
document as it is revised.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 144)
If someone makes changes to the content, it becomes the
current version. A wiki receives many contributions from
other people.

5. “The knowledge of the group is greater than the knowledge of
an individual, and the end product
of a wiki is the result of the group‟s interactions.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 145)

7. “Collaboration is people working together (often with a
common goal) to build one thing, such as a wiki page with
one understanding.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 145)

8. “Wiki has two modes, read and edit. The default mode is the
read state, which means that the wiki page looks just like a
normal Web page.”
“If you want to edit the wiki page, you must access the wikis
edit mode.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 145)

9. “Incorporating wikis into the curriculum promotes a
constructionist style of learning in which learners build new
ideas or concepts on their current/ past knowledge and in
response to the instructional situation. It implies the notion
that learners do not passively absorb information but
construct it themselves.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 145)

10. BLOG X WIKI
“Blogs are designed for one-to-many communication.”
Other users aren‟t able to change the post made
by another person, they can only make comments.
“A wiki has a far more open structure than a blog
and allows others to change what another person
has written.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 146)

11. WIKI X FORUM
“Forums (Discussion Boards) are excellent tools for letting
many users ask questions and letting many people answer.”
“Wiki are excellent for collaboration. If you want to let
others collaborate, add files, suggest links, and create a
document that is comprehensive and up-to-date.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 147)

12. WIKINOMICS
“ „Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything’ is a book by
Tapscott & Williams, first published in December 2006. It explores how some
companies in the early 21st century have used mass collaboration (also called
peer production) and open-source technology, such as wikis, to be successful.”
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikinomics)
“Wikinomics is based on four new ideas: openness, peering, sharing, and acting
globally.” - “Wikipedia is an example of peer production.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 147-148)

13. WIKIPEDIA
“Imagine a world in which every single
person on the planet is given free access to
the sum of all human knowledge. That's
what we're doing.”
(http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales)
“Wikipedia is an open-source encyclopedia that lets anyone
create or edit an article, created by Jimmy Wales in 2001.”
“Since anyone can make changes to it,
Wikipedia often receives criticism
concerning its accuracy.”
(Bell, 2009, p. 148)

14. WIKIPEDIA SELECTION FOR SCHOOLS
“The concern of having young children accessing Open Source
material on the Internet has caused some groups to take an
alternative action from filtering Wikipedia in its entirely.”
SOS Children (UK) and the Wikipedia Foundation have
launched a DVD which contains the content of a 15-volume
encyclopedia. (Bell, 2009, p.150)

15. •* WIKIBOOKS  “a collection of open-content
textbooks, which includes textbooks,
annotated texts, instructional
guides, and manuals.” (Bell, 2009, p. 150)
* WIKISOURCE  “a free library of source texts which
are in the public domain or legally available for free
redistribution.” (Bell, 2009, p. 151)

16. *WIKIVERSITY  “is a collection of learning materials
and activities that are being collaboratively developed in
wiki format. It hosts and develops free learning materials
for all groups.”
•* FREE HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE TEXT  “is a project
that aims to provide free science and mathematics
textbooks for grades 10 to 12 science learners in South
America.” (Bell, 2009, p. 153)

17. WIKI AS A COLLEGE TEXTBOOK
“A wiki has become a primary learning tool, replacing
textbooks and allowing for improved collaboration among
students in at least one Boston College classroom.”
(BELL, 2009, p. 153)

20. BENEFITS AND USES OF WIKIS IN SCHOOL
COMMUNICATION
“Wikis can be used for board, school, and classroom
communication for families, classrooms, sports teams,
community groups, and book clubs.”
 Students can use a wiki to share research and data while
working on a group project .
(Bell, 2009, p. 155)

21. CONCLUSION
“Information literacy and communication is not a matter of
knowing what source to use, but of being able to decide what
source to use, based on the goal at hand.”
“Using a wiki in a school and within a classroom improves
communication and reinforces the constructionist style of
learning.”
( Bell, 2009, p. 158-159)
