Educational wikis for your classroom

While researching the use of wikis for the classroom I ran across this online space for students of Westwood Schools to learn and collaborate. Managed by teacher and blogger Vicki Davis. Watch a video of how her class works.

Her project has "been in the news" since she started it back in 2005. The public can view the information but only students can participate. 

Go ahead and click around the site to see all the possibilities.
It's free for educational users. You have to request the upgrade for the free, no ad wiki for education. Watch the video on this page called Creating Educational Wikis. It tells how to upgrade for a free site.

Here is some information about using wikis in K-12 classrooms.
