I recently applied for a PB Wiki presenter package which included 3 free gold package upgrades to share with other educators. I was a little skeptical at first but I finally received the package of information which includes educational materials to teach students and faulty how to use a wiki and of course what a wiki is. I've been playing around with it and it seems very user friendly. The original PB wiki that I was using in design II was the basic package with no security features with it so I wasn't using it with my classes at school. The free gold package has a lot of bells and whistles including the security features which is important to me.
I am using one of the three free memberships and I shared the other two with two educational colleagues. I plan on sitting down with them and brainstorming ways to use the wiki's for our classes. The new PB wiki seems to have a lot of interesting features like adding widgets. Some of the widgets that can be added are calendars, slide shows, chat rooms, rss feeds, You Tube Video, table of contents, tabs on recent visitors, google gadgets, and yackpack voice chat. There are also great editing features. Check out the PB Wiki slide show I made on the right. To visit my PB Wiki work in progress click on the URL to the right.
