Back in 2008 when I first suggested using wiki for teachers to be able to collaborate with other teachers outside our school, I never thought that today, the school administrator will approve for the school to create its own wiki. I guess patience is indeed a virtue that we must all possess.
Prior to the beginning of the new school year, I was tasked to create a wiki for professional development purposes for all the educators and staff members of the school. I have to present different wiki "flavors" out there - its pros and cons. Ultimately, the administrator approved for me to use Wikispaces.
Only 2 teachers in 2008 tried using wiki for collaboration. This was for a project called Winter Wonderland. Today, after creating this private wiki for school's professional development, I am happy to report that 100% of the teachers in school now have officially became wiki members. It is kept privately and teachers are only invited via email to join in.
A professional development workshop is schedule in the next few weeks to fully introduce the tools for group discussions, monitoring pages, etc.
