This site is so much easier to use than wikispaces. There are easy to find links. There are no ads. BUT NO BACKUPS.
This is what PB works says about using a wiki in your classroom.
- building critical thinking and real world communication are its strengths
- publish class notes
- add powerpoint
- include schedules and policies
- add examples of work
- keep parents involved
- post assignments (no losing homework)
- students can create their own portfolios on their own page
- share and interact
- you can have multimedia plugins
- have student accountability (know who did what and when)
- page history facility
- reverse changes in case of vandalism or other upset
- create classroom accounts (no email) student login and password for security.
- THERE ARE NO BACKUPS.

navigation was so much easier in PB Works that I would choose to use this site over wikispaces.
ReplyDeleteIssues: no back ups. I would need to be vigilant in doing this at least twice a week.
Benefits: No ads and students can have their own log in.
I have deleted my wikispaces site.
