Why+should+I+use+this+wiki

No really, why should I? Let's collect advantages and gains for students who participate in editing this course-wiki!

=Because you will remember.=
 * knowledge cannot be transferred -- only actively constructed by //you//. This wiki can support you in the construction process
 * you don't know it unless you //articulate// your knowledge
 * you will never forget a method you've written an article about (not just copy/paste)

=Because you will develop valuable skills.=
 * become accustomed to advanced teaching tools //by using// them
 * you'll have to develop electronic literacy yourself before you can teach it to your students
 * electronic literacy does not only mean to use electronic media to interpret meaning, but also to //express// meaning
 * The wiki workshop was just the top of the iceberg: Have you used internal and external links yet? Have you tried the 'Widget' button and inserted Videos, maps, calendars, chatrooms into a wiki page?

=Because this is real.=
 * we share a real social context
 * this is an authentic environment for you to develop your skills
 * Are you aware that you will really get into trouble when you use copyrighted material? Do you know how to find copyright-free material? If not, it's high time for you to find out how and share your knowledge with others: to write an article about it, click on 'new page' in the top left corner

=Because this will last.=
 * It looks like this wiki will stay online for ever!
