Introduction to Tyler's Wiki Work Blog

This blog was designed to document the contributions I made to the class wiki located at: http://wikis.apa.uoit.ca/wikis/EDUC5001-SEP10/index.php/Main_Page

Contributions consist of original writing that:

*adds new information to existing entries about a learning theory (behaviorism, humanistic psychology, connectivism, etc.) or other topic

* presents information about a previously excluded learning theory, theorist, researcher, or other topic, or

* revises entries made by others (to correct errors or to update the entry.

All entries are time stamped and labeled for quick reverance.

My contributions to the class wiki today consisted of:

1) Adding Rod Ellis and Michael Long to the "Theorists" page and linking each name to a content page.

Rod Ellis  
Michael Long

For now, I copied and pasted a bio for each theorist from wikipedia.com as a placeholder.  I will come back later to edit this page.  I would like to provide more detailed information about each individual and introduce the key theories they made to the field of SLA, most notably Task-based Learning (Ellis) and Interaction Hypothesis (Long).  

2) Provided a few links under "Jing" on the following page. My first link was a video interviewing Russel Standard about how he uses Jing to provide feedback to his ELLs.  Interesting enough, Russel is the person who I give most credit to for getting me interested in the field of Educational Technology.  I have been been watching his inspiring demo videos for about 5 years now including the one on how to use blogger, the platform for creating and hosting this blog.
