Thing 22

My wiki can be found at: http://kassubat.wikispaces.com/

I have really enjoyed learning how to use Wikispaces. I really like this tool versus others because you can embed HTML code and utilize other Web 2.0 tools with it.

Wikis should be used for one of two reasons (or both):
  1. As a website in the event that the educator doesn't have one. The teacher could use this to post lessons, policies, and other communication to the parents and students.
  2. As a collaborative project for students
Blogs should be used for posting information or for simple interaction with the blog posts. It does not have the in depth collaborative tools that wikis offer. My recommendation is to use a blog for simple posts or communication - use a wiki for collaboration or in lieu of a website.

We agree - Wikispaces is easy to use and has lots of capabilites. To create an ad-free site every time you create a new wiki, be sure to start at: http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers. Then click on the option to indicate, "I certify this wiki will be used for K-12 education."
