The use of web 2.0 technologies in school learning has developed largely in the last few years, as some research indicates, passing to more meaningful and effective arrangements. Recently the interest in using web 2.0 technologies grew also among practitioners in guidance and counselling in schools, who became eager to figure new ways of addressing old needs using collaborative web tools. The article analyses different ways, devised by school counsellors from different counties around the country, in which wiki projects are used in their counselling and guidance activity in gymnasium and high schools. These activities were developed in the framework of a continuous training provided online, through a moodle elearning platform, by the Institute of Education Sciences - Department of Educational Counselling and Management in 2012 - Center for Online Learning training.ise.ro. The article focuses on the first module of this course on Using wiki pages in career guidance as well as on face to face regional workshops organised by the same department in some County Centers for Educational Resources and Psychopedagogical Assisatance focused on using web 2.0 technologies in guidance. The projects based on wiki pages (wikipedia, google docs, seedwiki, pbworks) designed and implemented during these trainings by the participants are assessed in terms of effectiveness and efficiency and further recommendations proposed. The needs of the different target groups (school counsellors, teachers in charge of curriculum are guidance and counselling. center managers) are analysed and the activities impact on pupils discussed compared to other traditional forms of guidance interventions. | Keywords
