WIKI SPACES **         This discussion is about engaging Year 6 children in relevant and contemporary learning as they develop a virtual portfolio on a wiki space. Issues that will be covered include: 1.  How it can be effectively used in a quality teaching program (values). 2.  An analysis of how it relates to and supports the Victorian Principles of Learning and Teaching (PoLT) issued by the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD 2007). 3.  The types of learning that can take place in comparison to traditional tools. 4.  Highlight problem areas for teachers to consider. 5.  How it effects assessment and what can be assessed.
