We are using a wiki for this session, and here is an example of how schools use a wiki to share and collaborate across the country.- http://monsterproject.wikispaces.com. If you want a wiki, Wikispaces offers free, wikis for K-12 educators- [] Be sure to use this link so that it can be private and will have no ads. Your students can also have accounts for wikispaces which allows for accountability and student ownership of work.

The single educator account is still free, and you can still have students work through your account using Identities (see the manual). This method requires direct supervision because they are logged in as you, the teacher. Another alternative, for older students, is to have students register using email addresses. The final method requires paying for a subscription.
