|description=WIKISPACES (www.wikispaces.com) is a website like {{tag|Wiki}}pedia. Here you can write your own information pages. Unlike say a blog, what is typed can be rewritten by others and perhaps edited mercilessly. Your choice of topic could be as wide as providing an entire course or you could use it to have a class share their experiences of say, a field trip.
|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!
