Primary school Wiki?
On Thursday this week I think I am doing a staff meeting. As I am the ICT Co-ordinator I will be doing the staff meeting on ICT. They wouldn’t let me talk about anything else. As part of the meeting I am thinking about looking at different web 2.0 things to see if the staff at school can come up with any reasons to use them! I am confident discussing blogs, and podcasts etc. So I thought this evening I would spend a bit of time looking into Wikis.
I’ve set a few freebies up to see if I can make any use of them. Some of them claim to be ad free but you have to prove you are a school before they take the adverts off (fair enough!) Wikis are something I am not too familiar with. I know what they are and I use them often enough but I have never written one or been part of one. It will be interesting to see if we can find a reason to use them at school.
The places I have looked so far have been Wikispaces, PBWiki and Wetpaint. Wikispaces is probably better than wetpaint - it’s cleaner and easier to use (so far!) but the ads are really obvious and I don’t know if there is a free way of getting rid of them. Wetpaint is ok though - a bit messy on the layout front but that’s probably to do with the style I have chosen and the fact I haven’t turned the ads off yet. I’ve not played with PBWiki enough yet but it looks ok - clear layout and no ads but you have to pay for most features.
Have I missed any obvious ones I should try?
