Just wanted to express a tear. After using wikispaces for a year and a half, it was blocked at my school. I then switched to PB Wiki and over the summer it was also blocked. Our filtering service claims to have unblocked the sites, but they still do not work properly. Enjoy your time, wikis are a great tool.
Enjoy your day,

Sarah and folks, here's an example of PMWiki being used by a 5th grade teacher in my district. When I introduced her to it, I thought it would be too hard for...

Kyle, this is why solutions like PmWiki are so needed. As schools block web-based wikis--they do so because it provides students with a place to store files...
