The article for this week was very interesting because provides information about the use of software’s like wikis for the learning writing skills. I really like this article because is based on a experience of a teacher ad the use of wikis to incorporate students in learning writing skills. What caught my attention was how the teacher use this tool for writing competences and daily life, how the investigation showed how useful that the tool can be.

With the use of wikis, teachers can create them owns task for teaching, writing to the learners, also I think that is a good idea having students work in groups, because they can have more ideas and incorporate them better to solve the tasks.

 As teachers, we need to use technology to incorporate ideas for teaching English skills, people nowadays are very familiar with technology and they prefer everything online, using this kind of online tasks they get better the idea and work on it since home or on their cellphone at any time they want and is easy for teachers to monitor the student’s work.

what I learned reading this article was that is important to leave students express themselves working in groups as the article mentioned they can give their ideas and express better encouraging to provided ideas for the group activity. Using wiki students can improve their writing skills in a different way.
