The most famous wiki is Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia created by users from around the globe. Not surprisingly, K-12 schools are also taking advantage of the opportunities for "collaborative construction" that wikis provide.wikihosts | classroom examples| articles about wikis in the classroom | wiki resources for teachers.

Released: How to Succeed in Ed-Tech There’s a lot of noise today about entrepreneurs and investors getting involved in education technology, much more than we’ve ever heard. This is a good thing. But we’re also convinced that most of today’s new ed-tech startups will fail and that a lot of investor money will be lost when they do. Given the stakes however, we wanted to publish a guide for ed-tech entrepreneurs and investors based on our experiences over the last 7 years in building and growing a successful, large ed-tech platform. We’ve gotten so much out of building Wikispaces, and we hope that many more entrepreneurs have the kind of experience we’ve had. We welcome your feedback and comment. Read the full guide then come back here to discuss.
