I've re-created the front page of this wikispace in a few of the other wiki hosting sites. See what they look like. Note: I've not done any formatting on them, so they are plain! Another note: everyone has different preferences. What works for one, doesn't necessarily work the other. Don't take my opinions on the wikis as the rule; take them as my opinion.


 * [|pbworks version] I just haven't discovered the magic of pbwiki. It's not conducive to how my brain works. The site does have excellent resources for teachers (message boards, research, etc). Instead of a "discussion tab" it allows users to "add comments." It works the same as the Wikispaces discussion tab. It is also "education-friendly" as is Wikispaces. It only recently changed its name from pbWiki to pbWorks. I twas called pbWiki because using it was as easy as making a penaut butter sandwich. As the company grew, so did the demans from consumers regarding certain products; therefore the name change to show how it has evolved.
 * [|wikidot version] I haven't spent any time with wikidot; so far, I like the appearance. I can't find a discussion feature or option.
 * [|wetpaint version] I really like the formatting options of wetpaint, probably more than any other wikis. The options make for a wiki that looks more like a professional website. It also has a user-friendly discussion forum that I like.
