I just listed some of the ideas we had in the last couple of lectures mostly relying on notes I was taking during your work. We worked out different helpful instruments that may be used to generate new knowlegde or transfer it from one to another.
Here are some of your suggestions:
A wiki is a website that any user can edit – right there live on the webpage, in real time – as well as read. In its purest sense this means that any visitor to the site is also an author, with no technical controls on what they add or delete and no gatekeeping editorial process prior to posting; in more limited forms it means any user within a defined group who has access to the wiki – a project team working on collaborative documents, for example.
Using a wiki to teach content can be benefical. It provides
opportunities for students to have their own input, change, add or
delete text. Wikis have been found fantastic to coordinate group
assignments etc. For example I have used a wiki during a group
assignment. We all needed to communicate and found email dificult
because you could only email one person at a time. However, wiki gave us
the chance to communicate on a document that each member could access
and share. The following PMI (Plus Minus Interesting) Chart is highting
the benefits and negative things about using a wiki to teach a
particular conent.

TPACK - Theoretical Pedagogy and Content Knowledge is a way of adding technology to the Pedagogical Content Knowledge that is being taught. TPACK is a theoretical framework designed to allow experts of a particular content area to support learning as well as develop their teaching with technology. It is also about building relationships between technology and teaching therefore transforming teaching practices.
The diagram below represents the blending of content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge otherwise known as PCK (Pedagogical Content Knowledge).
Before PCK was existent technology were considered to be separate. Technology was seen as an Independent knowledge domain show below. However this is no long the case. Content knowledge, Pedagogical knowledge and technology subsequently form an overlay providing opportunity for good teaching which required and understanding of how technology relates to the pedagogy and content. TPACK is shown below.
Content Knowledge relates about actual subject matter. Pedagogical Knowledge relates to the processes and practices or methods of teaching and learning. Technology Knowledge relates to standard and advanced technologies. Pedagogical Content Knowledge is how elements of the content can be arranged for more effective teaching.
Technological Content Knowledge is about the manner in which technology and content are related.
Technological Pedagogical Knowledge of the existence components and capabilities of technologies as they are used in teaching and learning therefore how teaching may change as a result of using particular technologies.
