Comments from those who selected Wikispaces as one of their Top Tools
- “Every student in my class gets their own wikispace and are taught how to embed code, widgets, pictures, etc. Our literature circles utilize a wikispace for homework assignments with students being provided a ‘menu’ of web 2.0 choices for each homework assignment that they can complete and place on their wikispace.” Mary Howard
- “While there are a lot of awesome wiki platforms available out there in the sphere, I like the simplicity of wikispaces. Students seem to be able to pick it up fairly easily, and it has become the foundation to all my classes” Beth Ritter-Guth
- “Collaboration is a critical job skill and new tools like wikispaces allows one to model and develop this skill online.” Britt Wattwood
