  • 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.

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!
