Just following on from Peter's post..

 

After seeing Peter's extensive wiki that he had created for his VET class, I
was inspired to create my own.  It has been running for more than a week
now, and the my students are warming to it.  I think it will really come
into its own around SAC times and certainly in preparing for the final exam.

 

Cheers,

Adrian

Adrian and others

 

Good to see you trying Wikispaces, (re: our VITTA meeting)  - I will be
presenting at the VITTA PD on 9th March regarding the use of Wikispaces in
Senior Level studies. I use them for all my IT classes. 

 

I even have the students edit - and post examples of their work,
e-portfolios (VELS), and they are using "contemporary communication tools"

Hi All,

 

Not sure if this is also around the same theme, however at wikispaces.com,
you can create an educational wiki for free.

 

Here is the link:

 

http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers100K

 

I have set up a wiki for my Software Development class and it is working
well.

 

Cheers,

Adrian

hi all

 

this question arose from my previous query about edublogs but i thought it
would be a good idea to start  a new thread for it

 

does anyone have experience with sites appropriate for hosting educational
web forums?

 

[yes, we are in the process at our school of developing  a moodle server but
in terms of getting students from different locations to share i thought it
would be better to have an independent site]
