|description=WIKISPACES (www.wikispaces.com) allows you to make a website like Wikipedia. The wiki 'concept' is core to sharing knowledge. You can write your own information pages and that doesn't mean writing a whole encyclopaedia. Unlike writing a blog post, where you would see people's opinions in a list below, what you type into a 'wiki' can be rewritten by others and edited mercilessly. (And that can be a measure of something very good going on in a class). | |description=WIKISPACES (www.wikispaces.com) allows you to make a website like Wikipedia.

Your choice of topic could be as wide as providing notes for an entire course or providing a space for the class to record experience of a field trip. The general idea is the last person to edit a page thinks they've the last word - which may take some getting used to. 'Wiki-bullying' could happen, but with that in mind, you could encourage your pupils to {{tooltag|collaborative|collaborate}} by editing each other's work and so engage in {{teachtag|peer assessment}}. Incidentally, to help that collaboration, there are ways to have more than one person edit a page at once. | Your choice of topic could be as wide as providing notes for an entire course or providing a space for the class to record experience of a field trip.
