=Wiki While You Work: An Introduction to Wikis in Education=

Free Wikis for K–12 Educators
Wikispaces offers a free upgrade for wikis that are used exclusively for K–12 education. These free, ad-free wikis have all the features of our Plus wikis, //and// our User Creator tool, which will let you create user accounts in bulk (even when your students don’t have email addresses).

This offer applies to any wiki that is used //exclusively// for K–12 educational use (i.e., kindergarten through secondary school). It is available worldwide to teachers, students, and other educators. This offer is not available to universities and higher education. Our [|regular pricing] is designed so that our service is accessible to higher education and non-profits as well as individuals and companies.


 * Get your K–12 Plus wiki**
 * Any time you want to create a new K–12 wiki, go to [].
 * If you already have a wiki on Wikispaces and you’re not sure whether your wiki is on the K–12 Plus plan, go to **Manage Wiki** > **Subscription**. After **Plan**, you should find the text, “Your wiki is currently on our Plus plan. Your Plus plan wiki is free, compliments of Wikispaces.” If it says something else, follow the **Request Your Free Upgrade Now** link at the bottom of the page.


 * Learn more**
 * If you're not clear on what a wiki is, this excellent [|video] from Common Craft explains it in simple terms.
 * Take a look at the educational wikis wiki to see what some of your peers are doing. It's a wiki, too, so you can contribute your own examples and ideas. You may also want to check out the [|Wiki Walk-Through] from TeachersFirst.

You can find answers to some common questions on our teachers help page. Or just shoot us an email any time at help@wikispaces.com.
