Wikispaces for an Educational Purpose

Below is a link to the wikispace I created for myself which shows the technology in action. Although I haven't written much yet, I can create and post lessons and projects and invite other educators to comment and share their ideas. This would be a useful tool to have in a school community where teachers can have students collaborate on various projects. Students would communicate not only amongst themselves, but with students from other schools as well.

What are Wikis?

More Wiki Info

Wikis have features that allow people to edit the content of the page. You can monitor the page and be notified when the content has been changed or edited. You can create multiple pages, which I have done. Page two of my wiki contains a link to my class blog. You can also insert pictures as well.
