Mobile Phones Wiki Reflections

I must admit from the start, I have never been a fan of people spending alot of time on mobile phones, so this probably skews my reflections.
As a learning experience, looking critically at the use of mobile phones was interesting, the use of De Bono's 6 thinking methods was an experience encouraging the thinking of all the different aspects of a subject and helps to get a thorough analysis of the subject. placing this in a wiki where entries from all the students can be viewed by other students and therefore debated is also a good experience. Mobile phones obviously have a potential for use in classrooms as students would love to use them in class, so the motivation and interest would be high.
the scaffold of the wiki would be a benefit to my students with the structural help that it would provide, because entries can be put in at any time and by any of the students it would encourage students to add opinions, anonymously if preferred to help promote discussion and different ideas. The use of the De Bono's 6 hats would encourage students to look at the subject from different perspectives which may help broaden their perspectives and methods of thinking.
the Constructist approach of adding thoughts to the structure of the wiki helps students expand their perceptions and knowledge. The combined imput from the students adds to the cognitive thought processes by all the students. By all the students adding their thoughts it also shows connectivism in process, with possible links to other published work and many different opinions.
The exercise is of a set structure and appeals to certian types of learners, but there is room to link or include diverse materials to broaden the appeal to other types of learners.
eLearning is always good that it is accessable to all the students and any odd time (as long as there is access to a computer). having the structure of the wiki set with De Bono's 6 hats it gets the cognative processes flowing. in the elearning enviroment it is always good to be able to access other peoples ideas and conclusions to aid your own learning.
