Wikispaces 100K free education wikis

teacher100k_counter2-php.pngWikispaces is giving away 100,000 free wikis to K-12 educators: “We want to give away 100,000 free K-12 Plus wikis. That includes all the features and benefits that normally cost $50/year – for free. No fine print, no usage limits, no advertising, no catches.” I interviewed Adam Frey, one of the co-founders of Wikispaces, and I think this is a great thing they’re doing for education. I wrote about this initiative back in January, but that was before they expanded the scope of this initiative to 100,000 wikis, and I’ll reiterate what I said then: “If you need a wiki space, or are thinking of trying a wiki for the first time, this is a good way to get started. On that note, I’m impressed more every day with how wiki people get it – they don’t just talk about changing the world, they’re smart enough to put their tools where change starts – with teachers.”
