Free wikis for educators: K through 12 through PhD
K3 through PhD now can have free wikis!! Wikispaces has aggressively given free ad-free wikis for K-12 but is now extending that to higher education. It is important to have ad free wikis because content on a page can inadvertently trigger innappropriate ads (i.e. you’re studying sexual history and you get ads for seedy websites) – this is GREAT news.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki

I’ve been using wikispaces in my classroom for a few months now. The possibilities are so amazing, but I’m sure I’ve not even scratched the surface yet. I highly recommend wikispaces!
