Rate *3
Susana Constanza
The article for this new week are following the secuence of the previos article. According that I learned, the main idea for this article is that learners use wiki pages such as an useful tool which can allows them to practice, grafting , rewriting , editing and proof reading , at the same time promoting collaborative writing task outside the classroom. After de reading , I could say as a students of languages ,I analyze how teachers can promote wikis and how it could helps students specially in a Composition I and II.
Using wikis is another different method to motivate students to develop writing skill through community even though if some of the sites are not relialable . Community allows students to narrow each other as a team work , creating learners autonomy and critical thinking.So, in firts place , learners need to be oriented about the use of wikis on line and the task or evaluations assigned during the course will be planning .In my opinion , this method could be useful for learners, because wikis is free, easy to learn and use.Suddendly, teachers not tend to use those kinds of online resources in Compostion, they use traditional methods and students can not discover diversity of materiasl which could help them to think critically and freely.

I like your idea of including wikis in the composition courses. As we know, these two courses are focused on individual writing, but it would be nice to practice some collaborative writing using wikis. I agree with you on the steps to follow as a teacher because even when wikis are easy to use, students need to be oriented about the use of this online tool, and the tasks that they will do during the course. Finally, I also think that the use of this source would be motivating, interesting, and it will help to inspire students to do written tasks.
