I have to say that I use Wiki spaces often. This assignment was one I was very comfortable with. As a teacher in the Clarksville Montgomery County School system, I am quite familiar with Wiki spaces. If I have a question about how to use a particular technology, I go to the technology Wiki page. If a have new teacher question, I explore the New Teacher Wiki space. The school system has done an excellent job creating wikis to give teachers access to the answers they need. You only have to check the Wiki space.
I could see the usefulness of a classroom Wiki. A teacher could create a Wiki space that students could go on to find homework help. I could even see designing an assignment that required students to log on to and make changes in a wiki space. It could be a way for students to collaborate with one another as an in class or out of class assignment.
I like Wiki spaces. Though I haven't ventured into using one in my classroom just yet; I can definitely see this is the near future. I use them for information. I just need to change to using them to help my students learn as well.
