Wikispaces - my preference for wiki creation. Easy to edit, and they keep the product up to date. Good support from their help pages and via email. What is the State of our Backyard? - example of a wikispace used by students Toorak College Geography - example of a wikispace used by students Blogs - Edublogs is a hosted solution to providing a blog platform for your students. Your school pays a fee, and edublogs hosts the content on their servers, but you can set up the blogs in your school's domain name. They offer email support and I have always found this to be very helpful. Sue Waters and Ronnie Burt write The Edublogger, and you can find many answers to your questions via this blog. We have a team who are administrators on all student blogs, and can remove content or comments at any time. Schools can set up this kind of system themselves using Wordpress Multi User (this is what the Edublogs team use), but you are responsible for the set-up and hosting of content.
