Wikispaces

As you are teaching others how to create their own wiki, you may find the page that Wikispaces has created specifically to help teachers to be particularly useful. Of note are instructions for easily creating student accounts (see tip number 5) and two helpful getting started handouts (see tip number 8).

• Getting Started Handout - 2 Page
• Getting Started Handout - 3 Page
