FW: On Classroom 2.0: Wikis in Education Celebration September 11th, 2008
Maggie Verster
Wikispaces has just announced that they have given away 100,000 ad-free educational wikis, and that they are going to give away 250,000 more. Classroom 2.0 is going to celebrate the general use of wikis in education and Wikispace's amazing milestone by having founder Adam Frey and the Wikispaces team join us Thursday evening, September 11, 2008, for an open discussion of the use of wikis in education.
If you are using wikis in education, or if you want to learn why you might consider doing so, please join us at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern / Midnight GMT in our Elluminate room: https://sas.elluminate.com/m.jnlp?sid=1101&password=M.8DAFD346DA4B268DC185FED8466556/. We'll have lots of time for Q&A, which you are welcome to start beforehand in the forum discussion on Classroom 2.0: http://www.classroom20.com/forum/topic/show?id=649749:Topic:186332
