|tagline=Share the knowledge  

|description=WIKISPACES (www.wikispaces.com) allows you to make a website like {{tag|Wiki}}pedia. You can write your own information pages and that doesn't mean writing a whole encyclopaedia. Unlike writing a blog where you'd see people's opinions as a list, 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). <br/>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 wiki 'concept' is core to sharing knowledge. But it takes some getting used to. There are ways to have more than one person can edit a page at one time, but the general idea is the last person to edit a page thinks they've the last word. Not so!

|ideas=Encourage your pupils to {{tag|collaborate}} by editing each other's work and so engage in {{tag|peer assessment}}
