Wikispaces can make archiving and organization great for teachers. They're easy to get started, have a quick learning curve, and take little time to manage. Teachers can create their own wiki and then allow guests to edit the site if they wish.
This makes it easy to keep all digital work in one place. Teachers can create pages for each class they teach, projects and groups they assign, and extra curricular activities or clubs they lead.
It's easy to type in, embed, add, publish, or code (HTML, etc.) in anything that's needed in the classroom. Whether it's typing a directions for a Language Arts assignment, example video for a Lab Report in Science, creating a download link for a .pdf of Math homework, or meeting minutes from a recent faculty meeting, everything is where you need it and when you need it.
Wikispaces makes it easy for teachers to collaborate with each other. By clicking Manage Wiki, teachers can give access to fellow teaching team members, colleagues from other schools, or collaborating classrooms from around the world. Work can be done whether collaborators are in the same physical area of not, and be completed while at school or at home.
Since Wikispaces has few limitations, rules, or constraints, teachers are free to customize their site as they please, add or change things at their own will, and allow outside 'help' to make their site the best it can be! The only limitation is the imagination!
Wikispaces is a great tool for keeping a classroom organized. It acts as a storage space for files, text, and documents, a collaboration tool for personal or group work and communication, and one stop shop for archiving work and creating an online portfolio to showcase talents and interests.
