Tech Tools for Collaboration


This wiki contains several examples for how you could use a collaborative wiki to collaborate with one or more teachers.

Here are the basics steps for setting up a wiki:
1. Join a free wiki site, such as wikispaces
2. Create your wiki
3. Invite your collaborating teacher(s)
4. Set your wiki to "private" - in Wikispaces, go to Manage wiki < Subscriptions < Click the request for educational wiki. After your wiki is upgraded, go back to Manage wiki < Permissions < click Private
5. Add information

Hint: you must be logged into your wikispaces account before you can edit a wiki.
