Miraheze is an ad-free wiki hosting service that allows users several customization options, including custom domains. Begin by creating an account; users must be thirteen or older. Before starting a wiki, users must request approval by submitting the desired subdomain, a description of the wiki's purpose and content, and the wiki's language. After approval, create and edit your wiki using the visual editor, which includes options to edit text, add tables, use templates, and customize the wiki's look.

If you have not tried a wiki yet, visit the TeachersFirst Wiki Walk-Through for a detailed, step-by-step explanation and starter help, including dozens of ideas for ways to use a wiki in your classroom. Before implementing this site in your classroom, take some time to teach students how to edit and add information. Create and use a wiki to collaborate and compile information on any classroom research projects. For example, have your class work together to add resources and web links when researching the causes of the Civil War, plants and animals found in different habitats, or to share math problem-solving ideas and links. Use your wiki for small-group projects and ask students to share a synopsis of group meetings, along with a compilation of websites and videos used in their research.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Share Knowt with students as a resource for practicing for upcoming quizzes and tests. Consider this option as an alternative to flashcards or other review methods. As students become familiar with Knowt, use this tool as a starting point on lessons sharing how to find and understand important information within any piece of writing. Create a quiz together and share it on your interactive whiteboard. Ask students to analyze the questions that Knowt creates and discuss why they are included in the quiz. Once students understand how to create an effective quiz, ask them to create their own quizzes for personal study or to share with peers. Gimkit, reviewed here, offers a free quiz-creation tool for use in a variety of educational settings.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
