The mobile phone wiki connected site was interesting for me on a number of levels. I am older, less connected, a bit set in my ways, less receptive to change and not as willing to make allowances for new ideas (just a bit of back ground), that's just to name a few short comings. At least I recognise them. I wasn't the first to add some input and it was interesting to read others comments first and take note of them.
The learning theories for discussion are ones that I feel I did subconsciously, especially behaviourism? I was very measured and controlled in my response, I did not comment on others opinions or statements. Normally I would in a face to face situation. The conversation was constructive with relevant opinions and modern ideas put forward. The wiki tool, scaffolded the way it was, allowed for connectivity for a student like myself (narrow minded, older, working full time, 3 kids, etc) with other students from my home. Further I would never have had the opportunity to see others ideas and opinions on this topic to assist me in opening my eyes to other possibilities and ways for utilising technology.
The possibilities for use in my field of education are enormous. In my role I provide education for staff from Agnes Water to Proserpine west to Winton and everywhere in between. The ability for staff to view, contribute and discuss multiple topics using this tool would be fantastic.
