EDUCATOR FAQS
I am already using Wikispaces and am a K-12 teacher. Can I take advantage of the free Plus space offer? Just email us at [email protected] and tell us
the names of the spaces you need us to convert and mention that you're using those spaces exclusively for K-12 (primary and secondary) education.
If you want to create more K-12 spaces, you can do so here: http://www.wikispaces.com/t/x/teachers100K .

students? Sure - if you don't want your students to have to
create accounts themselves, just email [email protected] with a list of usernames, email addresses (if you have them - if you don't just leave them out), and passwords in the following format and we'll create the accounts for you. user1,[email protected],password1
Length of Usernames and Passwords Please make sure that usernames are at least 3
characters long (we allow letters, numbers, underscores _, or dashes -) and that passwords are at least 6 characters long.

should add them to as members.
