Wiki World
Great to see that we have a number of schools who are spending some time to explore the uses of wikis.
On my own wiki (www.deidre.wikispaces.com )I have a page dedicated to the uses of wikis. There are links to useful backgrounds to wikis, and some links to a variety of school sites that I have sourced.
A wiki is a free website that you can set up to have control as to who can edit your site. You may want to control the content – or you may wish for it to be open and all readers to be able to edit the content.
Amongst other things it is a great way to create a professional learning community where ideas can be shared and discussed. What a great way to encourage online discussion and collaboration of ideas.
Wikispaces currently have 100,000 ad free spaces for teachers to create, use and share: Wikispaces for teachers.
