Wikispaces for Education
?>
Role in new learning:
A Wiki is a community website which can be edited and added to by any member – it is ideal for problem solving, collaboration and knowledge management. It can be used for constructing and maintaining knowledge bases. They are a dynamic resource which different groups can maintain and add to.
Limitations:
Wikis are unstructured and any content is editable by any member of the community. If there are version control issues or an organisation is geared up to maintain strict controls on practice, a Wiki may be too freeform and the overhead of maintenance may be too much.
Wikispaces:
Back in January, Wikispaces decided to offer their Plus Plan to K-12 teachers for free, in order to help teachers to use wiki technology.
Over 10,000 educational wikis have been created by students and teachers.
