Not sure I have actually blogged on the Profile Wiki but just blogged about my profile, so here goes.....
I was one of the lucky ones and have encountered no problems uploading to any of the wikis so far. I uploaded my profile very early on in the course as I could see the workload was high and I wanted to keep on top of the ICT course. I thought that it was an interesting way for everyone doing ICT to put up information about themselves. However as I did my wiki very early, I soon moved on to the next learning activity as there were many more to complete in week 0 and 1. Due to time pressure, I did not have the luxury to browse through profiles getting to know my fellow students and I have found I gravitated towards working with someone who lives close to me. So great idea to profile wiki, but in reality, much nicer to say "hey,would you like to meet and work together?" in person. My other thought about the wikis is that they are obviously not very robust! So it does not seem to be a very reliable technology in this form and unless the instability issue has been resolved then I don't believe it is a viable tool for the classroom.
