2008-02-25
When the topic of wiki use in classrooms comes up, many
teachers assume this means using Wikipedia with their students. Teachers become
rightfully concerned with their inability to control and/or verify Wikipedia's
content and how to protect the privacy of their students. But wiki technology
is much bigger than Wikipedia, and many teachers are finding success with
private classroom wikis. Read the full post for tips on selecting and using a private wiki for use in your classroom.

Staff Lounge: 10 Biggest EditMe Sites
Lots of people ask why there isn't a master list of all EditMe sites.
Our typical response is that most EditMe sites are private. In other
words, even if they aren't password protected or store sensitive
information, they may be intended for a select group of people rather
than the general public. That said, we run some lists behind the scenes
that we find interesting, and thought it might be fun to share
one with our customers. Read the full post...

home page that can be personalized with RSS feeds and myriad other
widgets. What's intriguing about UWA is that it has the promise of
allowing widgets to be seamlessly shared across multiple platforms and

2007-03-09 Staff Lounge: Total Site Customization
This
blog post is about where EditMe is heading. In looking at our
competition and where EditMe can fill an unfilled niche, we arrived at
a concept we're calling total site customization. We get lots of
requests from customers who want to do this or that with their site -
features that aren't really part of any wiki product, stuff that would
require custom programming just for that site. Wiki application hosts
like EditMe typically don't want to customize their product for
individual customers. Not only is contract development not part of
their business plan, but managing hundreds of permutations of their
software would quickly become unmanagable. That is, without total
site customization being a core product feature. Read the full article...
