How Can I Use a Wiki for School-wide or Administrative Purposes?
The collaborative space that is a wiki should become a key tool to help professionals collaborate more effectively on school wide policy documents and other such development plans. In the UK we have policies for many areas of school life, these govern the practice and current guidelines for their implementation. These must be reviewed every year by several people. If such documents were on a wikispace, like this Assessment Policy, the collaboration would be much more streamlined and easier to manage for a headteacher or department head (as they can keep tabs on whether or not documents are actually being changed, see the changes being made and the history of the document)

Examples of School Wikis

 * Arbor Heights Elementary - just starting out, may well replace school web site
 * Priestsic Primary School Wikispace - Nottinghamshire, England - a space for colleagues at this school to collaborate, author and discuss key school policies, development plans and other documents.
