the groups' separate solutions on a single page? This "synthesis page" can act as a class artifact and its discussion forum can be a place for everyone to discuss the problem. In Wikispaces, you can combine (concatenate) several pages into one page using the "include wikispace page" widget tool.

l-time collaboration technologies will bring in more engaging and enhanced communication and open up tremendous possibilities for educators. Wikispaces looks like a great way for curriculum sharing. Thanks for the pointer. Why is something like wikispaces as a curriculum sharing platform not used in most school districts?…

upon reflection, I decided it was better to do this weekly as new topics emerge or more information is presented on topics (i.e. the Gulf spill).
As for learning how to use Wikispaces, I found this wiki about with lots of tips and tricks. https://gettingtrickywithwikis.wikispaces.com/…

they had no problem with it. Each class from 1 to 4 has a class wikispace where they post kid's stories, videos, activities and it has been great. The parents were the hardest to convert in the beginning of the year. The teachers and the kids were fine about it.…

hem a good deal with my students. My first wikispace, wikistange has grown quite complicated. This is because it is easy to embed other programs into the pages. Pictures and videos are easy to add, but you can do so much more.
I created a site where each of my grade four and fives can create their own page. I called it Chalkboard for no good reason. I created a resource page for students to visit when they are looking for something to add to their pages. It has fallen a bit behind because I just discovered a way to add a forum and chat to my page.
The greatest strength of the wikipages is that nothing is ever lost. If you make a mistake or make a change you don't like, you can go back in the history. Wikispaces updates constantly but it is an old platform now. Despite that, I still think it is one of the best for our students. I could keep talking about them I am sure. Give it a try.…
educational community learn, share and grow. We show you the basics of creating a classroom wiki and introduce you to educators who have lessons and stories to share about their use of wikis. We have also found that the venue, our Elluminate room, enables educators to chat with other wiki users, organize inter-classroom projects, and share resources.
Our next webinar is May 5th at 3:30 pm PST /6:30pm PST. Jennifer Barnett, an English and history teacher at Fayetteville High School in Alabama, will be joining us. She's been using wikis in her school and classrooms for over three years and we are excited to hear from her about all the work she's been doing.
If you would like to join us, you can register for the event at http://wikispacesineducation0905-4.eventbrite.com . We look forward to seeing you there.
Cheers,
Sarah…
