The first&second Wiki essential activities

In the first Wiki activity another student (I'm sorry I can't remember her name) and I used a PMI to help us find the benefits and downfalls of the Behaviourism theory. It has been a while since I have used a Wiki but it all came back to me quickly. In the second Wiki activity another person (even though this is a different person l don't know her name either, sorry) and we were given the black hat of De Bono's Hats in the mobile phones wiki pages. I think the underpinning theory is constructivism and connectivism  theory, because we are finding all the information on the internet, looking at websites, blog's and other types of web pages (connectivism). The constructivism theory comes in because we writing up our own page, making it the way we want it, even though we have to use this wiki.
I found that a PMI was very effective for a short and quick analysis tool, we did it in 15 minutes and we could have done in less time. If we know what we were talking about a bit more, for example McDonald's food, we could have completed a PMI a lot quicker.
I found the De Bono's Hats was more complex compared to PMI, but it was a lot more covering, it was more fulfilling, it went more in depth. In saying that it did take more time and people to complete the De Bono's Hats. I saw that some of the hats were harder to answer then others, I found it easier to answer the black hat about the mobile phone then it was to answer the blue hat.
