Wikis

=So what is a wiki and how do I use it? =

Below is a short video about wikis which we suggest you view. Another place for information is the "help" link in the top right of this wiki, above. And, if you go to "Manage wiki", you'll find some helpful links and advice. Still got a problem? Try one of the Lead Teachers or try e-mailing the help desk at help@wikispaces.com.

Wikispaces has also included a training presentation:[]

Subject specific wikis in secondary schools are an excellent repository for resources, such as those handouts which students have lost. They provide a platform for introducing and discussing ideas, when there is insufficient time in class to do so. Here is wiki from a Year 12 English class at Rotorua Lakes High School.
