I had no trouble working with a partner in this activity, actually it was a great enjoyment to pass ideas back and forth. The PMI seemed to create itself as we added ideas, fixed up wording and shifted sentences.
Once we became familiar with Vygotsky's theories it was relatively easy to express how we felt on the topic, what we could see needed improving and how we would incorporate it into the classroom.
At first I didn't understand the objective of the PMI activity, and was slightly overwhelmed with the whole learning theories idea and wiki pages. However after talking to Wendy over the Elluminate tutorial, I understood how to work the Flex wiki page and where to post our activity result.
The wiki pages were a totally new experience for me, Emma and I did most of our modifying and drafting on her wiki page, it is an excellent tool for any learner. It helps to communicate without the need for a face to face connection, you can easily adjust your learning preference to accommodate for this program or blog.
Teachers now should really grasp this technology that is so readily available to them, students would embrace wikis and blogs because it's a way to do homework or collaborative assignments outside the same old school environment.
