Hello All,
I recently attended the webinar Wikispaces Classroom Tour
through Wikispaces. The features are
quite impressive and I found Wikispaces Classroom easy to navigate and use. With all the buzz about Project Based Learning (PBL) and authentic assessment in education circles, the one feature that stood out to me was Projects. The teacher can create the project, add dates
to the calendar, create teams, and view user activity. Teams can be created by dragging and dropping
member names, randomly assigning members using the team generator, or uploading members
from a spreadsheet. The privacy settings
can be set for only the team to edit, for other members of the Wiki to view but
not edit, or for other members of the Wiki to also edit. Numerous pages for the project can be setup
for the teams by the teacher or the teacher can allow permission for each team
to add pages for the project. Under the
assessment tab, the teacher can view who is online and whether each person is reading,
writing, or has saved. This information can
be accessed searching by users or by projects.
If you are curious about the other features available at Wikispaces
Classroom, visit the About Wikispaces Classroom link here: http://www.wikispaces.com/content/classroom/about.
Happy potential PBL,
Mrs. A
