Wikispaces


 * What are [|wikis]?**

SLA uses Wikispaces. Franky and Marcie sent in all the user names and pass codes for the students to WIKISPACES (this is the site you are on now).
 * What does SLA use for wikis?**

When you use wikispaces the students use their username and passcode for Moodle with sla tacked on the front of the user name. (ex. slamhull or slafstpierre)

Wikispaces is free and they make money by putting ads to the right of each site, but teachers can go to this [|website] and set up a NON-AD wiki for K-12 use only.
