YOU control who sees your wiki.

You invite your students.Each student has a unique login and password.

In the classroom,a wiki is a free

tool thatempowers every

student toparticipate in

group projects.

You have a history of every edit.

You are notified of every change.

Edits are time stamped. You know who made changes and when they were made.

Quickly create new pages.

Templates are designed with teachers in mind.

You can post files, pictures, videos, calendars, and more.
