Sharing the Addiction

PBWiki

Just a quick note about PBWiki. Recently, I have decided that it is a really good option amongst the wikis due to the ease with which you can format the pages and the extra features you can add to your pages compared to some of the other wikis. I get their newsletter and one interesting thing that was included was a link to a page of free video tutorials by Atomic Learning about pbwiki. I found out a couple of things I didn’t know about the wiki such as the fact that when you add a calendar, other people are able to add events directly on the calendar which is something that I have been looking around for some time now.

I have also got a few schools that are interested in learning more about the Spike LMS. It seems quite a good option and schools that are using it already seem pretty happy with it. If anyone has stories to tell about Spike, let me know.

Finally, I have just re-discovered the Google Page Maker tool that I played with a long time ago. With its attractive templates and ease of use, it could be a better option that a wiki for those teachers that don’t want the collaborative aspects of a wiki though as long as you log in to your page, it can be edited anywhere.

Here is a link to my test page that I created a long time ago.
