Re: Wiki Service

In recent months, I have found that pbwiki has become easier to use! In
fact, now, the teacher just creates a general "key" password. Anyone who has
that password can then edit that site. It eliminates the need to have email
addresses for all kids. They do still have issues with spacing--i.e. their
tables and paragraph spacing can sometimes be flaky. However, in general,
their embedded media tools are pretty neat. Wikispaces has always worked
well for me as well, but you still have to figure a way to get email
addresses for all kids. Kim Cofino taught me a way to get around that using
gmail. She blogged about it here:
