A short while ago I had looked at wikispaces for a class that I was taking. I recently revisted this tool as our school was looking for ways to collaborate with peers electronically and the wiki seemed like a good option. The wiki provides a way to allow everyone to participate at their own pace. Several teachers are ready to read what others have found and posted, while others are ready, willing and able to post and discuss all the great resources that they have found and use.
We are starting small and I'll be happy if I can get all of the teachers to 'join' the wiki. I plan to work 1:1 with some of the teachers that struggle with technology. My hope is to show them what is available on the wiki and get them hooked! Those that are comfortable adding will also help to drive interest and make sure that teachers check back often.
Wikispaces is easy to use and allows you to embed video, documents and images easily. The overall design is very simplistic. We'll give it the old college try and see where it goes!
