And now, it is doubling up and getting set to give away another quarter million. The company, Wikispaces, decided in 2006 that it would make helping teachers use the collaborative software to further cooperation between students, both in their own schools and with schools in other cities and countries, a cornerstone of its business. Read the entire article at http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-10041911-52.html?tag=newsEditorsPicksArea.0 . For more information about the free wikis, go to the Wikispace blog at http://blog.wikispaces.com/2008/09/100000-free-k12-wikis-and-250000-more.html . Do you wonder what a wiki even is?

The Center for Advanced Language Proficiency Education and Research (CALPER) also offers consulting for institutions interested in hosting their own blogs and wikis; for more information go to http://calper.la.psu.edu/technology.php and scroll down to CMC Tools.
