Wiki pages, definitely worth flipping!

I’ve never heard of Wiki pages until this week. As one of the tasks of our instructional technologies and material design course, this week, we were supposed to watch a film and write a review as if it was for a school magazine. After posting it by creating a new page under the wiki page given by our teacher, we were supposed to visit another page, and ask a question about the reviewed film and answer a question that is asked on our page.

Before keeping on talking about the task, I want to clarify what a wiki page is. This term is a derivation of a Hawaiian phrase: wiki-wiki and it means quick. A wiki is a collaborative website whose content can be edited (with permission) by visitors to the site (Chao, 2007).

A wiki is like a public website, or public webpage, started by one person, but visitors can add to, delete or change it as they wish. They can be a great source of information especially when the information is intended to be modified and enhanced as part of a collaborative effort.

What I loved about Wiki pages, is you can view all the changes within the history and if you dislike the last version of the page you can simply go back.

For this task, I chose an American mystery thriller film released in 2018: ‘Searching’. It’s about desperate attempts of a father, David Kim, to find his missing teenage girl, Margot Kim.

I hope that you'll enjoy my review!
