What are the benefits of using a Wikispace in the Classroom:  Discussion: initiate online discussions with your students  Communication with peers on homework and collaborative projects  Allows students to work collaboratively on group projects online  Invite another class to join your wiki and work collaboratively with you - at your school, a nearby school or a sister school overseas!  Use it as a website for your class / year level / school that you can easily update yourself  Showcase student work online in the form of digital images (can be photos of student work), Word documents, Powerpoint presentations, digital movies or digital audio recordings - a great motivator

 Post topic-specific web links for your students to access, to save them time in typing out URLs or Google searching  Put handouts and newsletters online for students / parents to access from school or from home  Students are motivated to write for a real audience (Parents can be invited see what the students have been working on in the previous week)  Conference with students on their drafts - all revisions to a page are tracked in the history  Make your wiki public (anyone can access) or private (only members can access with a username and password)
