  1. AROGUN OLAWALE CHRISTOPHER,EGL/08/3087.400L. WHAT IS WIKI? Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit web page content using web browser.It allows multiple people to work on the same document.It is also a server avenue that encourages group,social interaction and collaboration and support asynchronous communication allowing users to contribute at a time, and from a place that suite them. HOW CAN WIKI BE EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATED TO TEACHING AND LEARNING? It can be effectively intergrated into teaching and learning by using it for "collaborative story telling".ie the instructor can just create a story topic and ask the students to contribute to the development of the story. Also,it can be combined to teaching and learning by creating student to student interaction,negotiating meaning,and knowledge construction among the learner. It can also be used in effective teaching and learning through the host of icebreaker exercise which aims to facilitate ongoing interaction between members of online learning groups. It can be used to make teaching and learning effective by making the student to go online and make research on a particular aspect of their course so, they can be able to acquire knowledge on their own by interacting with other poeple on the internet. Finally,it can be effectively integrated into teaching and learning by making the students to go through problem solving method of teaching which will enable the students to be self dependent and constructively solving any educational problem that may arises in the course of study.

  3. EKUNDAYO ADENIKE C. EGL/08/3122 Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit web page. A wiki is a website which allows its users to add, modify, or delete its content via a web browser usually using a simplified markup language or a rich-text editor. Wiki are powered by wiki-software. Most are created corraboratively. Wikiwiki web was d first wiki. Ward cunning started developing wikiwiki web in Potland, Oregon in 1994, and installed it on the internet domain on march 25, 1995, A defining characteristics of wiki technology is the ease with which pages can be created and updated. Many wiki are opon to alteration by the general public without requiring them to register user accounts. Wiki can be integrated into teaching and learning through the teacher, the teacher should be contextually sensitive . That is, teachers need to reflect on how one particular tool can aid in teaching. Teacher should firstly teach the students how to operate computer so that they(students) will be able to interact with wiki on the computer. Wiki can be integrated into teaching and learning through situated learning. Situated learning is when teachers learn new knowledge skills in a highly integrated environment with their teaching context. Teacher redesign their courses/ lessons to result in technology supporters. Students should be giving assignment on the wiki to create their own web, the assignment given by the teacher to the student should be timed that is, the time for the assignment should be specific.

HOW CAN IT BE EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATED INTO TEACHING AND LEARNING? Wiki can be effectively integrated into teaching and learning in so many ways which are;it creates avenue for team work i.e teaching-learning process can be easier when the instructor allow the learners to rub mind together and gain more knowledge from one and other. It can also be used to make teaching and learning effective in the sense that,teacher can incorporate it to aid the problem solving method between the teacher and the students. Lastly, it is good in the using of research approach.ie, the teacher may give the students assignment that will make them to go online and make research on their own,this will make learning to be more concrate and they will be able to solve problem related to their subject on their own.

    What is Wiki? It is abbreviated from Wikiwiki web (first wiki software) from Hawaiian wikiwiki(quick) English web. It is a website which allows users to add, delete(get rid of),and edit (change) the content or the program that makes this possible. Wikipedia is thought to be the largest wiki with more than 280,000 articles. It is a collaborative website which can be directly edited using only a web browser often by anyone with access to it.

    Media Literacy: it allows people to analyse, evaluate,communicate information in variety forms.it broadens the students experience of media and help them develop creative skills I making their own media.Media literacy also helps them to be familiar with the computer and know its usefulness.

  6. AJIBOYE BUKOLA IBIRONKE ENG/08/3041. Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit web page content using any web browser. Wiki supports hyperlink and has a single text syntax for creating new pages and crosslink between interval pages on the fly. Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanism in that it allows the organization of contribution to be edited in addition to the content itself. It allows students and teachers to post their thoughts, ideas, and comments on a website. It allows students and instructors to share their thoughts of others which could create an interactive learning. The use of internet in education has had a positive impact on the students, educators, as well as the educational system as a whole. The internet itself has unlocked a world of opportunity for students. Information and ideas that were previously out of reach area a click away. Students of all ages can connect share and learn on a global scale. Many students have different types of technology is a great way to help all kinds of learning providing remedial instruction for low achieving students, providing enrichment activities for students who successfully complete the regular lesson before students who require more time to learn

Wiki is a website that allow users to add and update content on the site using their own web browser.it also comprises the perpetual collective work of many authors.it is similar to blog in structure and logic.wiki can be integrated into teaching and learning by encouraging learners to look for authoritarian sources to back up researches with verifiable content,Also by giving out assignments that can only be solved through the use of the internet,this will enable the students to have more access to the internet and offer a more active,participative relationship with web based materials.

    The word “ Wiki” is a Hawaiian word meaning “fast” or ”quick”. The inventor of wiki is known as Ward Cunningham, he was the developer of the first wiki software, - WikiWikiWeb (www), originally described it as “the simplest online database that could possibly work.”
    A wiki is a website which allows its users to add, modify or delete its content via a web browser usually using a simplified markup language or a rich-text editor. Wikis are powered by wiki software.Most are created collaboratively. Ward Cunningham and co-author Boleuf further buttressed on the encompassing nature of wiki.
    Wiki was further explained as a software which invites all users to edit any page,so also to create new pages within the wiki website,using only the plain-vanilla web browser without any extra additions.So also does it promote meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link creation almost intuitively easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not.
