 * A wiki is a collaborative Webspace where anyone can add or edit content. In schools, teachers and students have begun using password protected wikis to create their own textbook, resource, or activity sites.
 * What can you do with a Classroom Workspace?
 * **Class Resources**  - Publish class notes, PowerPoint lectures, schedules and policies; show off examples of great student work.
 * **Group Projects**  - Build collaborative pages, start discussions and encourage comments.
 * **Parent Outreach -**  Keep parents involved. Post assignments, key dates and volunteer lists. All available at home, from work, or anywhere.
 * **Student Portfolios**  - Give students their own page to post content, upload homework, and share their work.
 * **Expand Horizons**  - Share and interact with other classrooms or groups, across town or around the world **.** -- Joel Backon
