reflection on the mobile phone wiki

At first I found the mobile phone wiki slightly confusing.I was not sure on where to go or where the right information was and after finding the link to the information I needed, to join in, I found it did not work and would not take me to the right page. So instead of using the link provided by the wiki team I used the links provided by other students and did a little research on my own to find exactly what the six thinking hats were. Even though I had some difficulty to begin with I found this to be a really great learning tool.
I do believe this learning tool can be linked and used in relation to behaviourism, constructivism, cognitivism and connectivism, because even those all these learning styles are different in many way a wiki does not have to be the exact same thing over and over again. A wiki can be created in different ways to link to these types of learning styles.
For example in conjunction with behaviourism a wiki can be created so  the student is led through a series of steps in programed education, with a pre-defined end result at each stage. Hence using behaviourism as the learning style.
For this particular wiki though I believe the learning styles used are connectivism and social constructivism . Connectivism is linked through the mobile phone wiki as I believe it uses different connections (links) to relay the information needed. Also it relies heavily on students communicating between each other and sharing their thoughts and opinions and information they have found. Which also leads me to believe that the learning style social constructivism is used.
Like I said even though I had a bumpy ride to begin with I really enjoyed participating in the wiki and learnt quite a lot of information on the subject and the six thinking hats technique and the other students opinions helped me to come across my opinion that they mobile phones are only bad.
The benefits of this wiki is that it has a lot of information and you have other students to read on what they have to say about the topic at hand. The possible issues would be the links not working, but this can be overcome by using the links provided by other students. Another issue could be a student not willing to try and do the research and just giving up after a simple set back, and not being able to help that student to overcome their setback and continue their learning journey.
I believe this could contribute to the learning of my students by giving them another resource to continue their learning experience and could be used instead of normal (sit at home with a pen and paper) homework and get them interacting and interested in the topics given and wanting to continue their learning not only in the classroom but also at home.
I believe the scaffold supported the collection of a range of perspectives by allowing students the room to think for themselves and being allowed to choose where they could join in and it was a place to write your opinion not discuss the opinions of others, so you could write freely without feeling like you would be judged.
A really great learning experience that I enjoyed.
