Opinions:

 * 1) "Our main application: The class is divided into groups of 3-5 people per group. Each group is assigned one page to create and another page to edit, and everyone is encouraged to help on any page. The anatowiki is the most recent site, and probably the best." Source
 * 2) "I use wikis to broadcast Caledonia's vast history and important information on the web. I advertise for fund-raisers in the town and help out a lot of businesses by doing so. Wetpaint is my first choice in wiki's for education!" Source
 * 3) "My class is making a documentary film. They use the wiki as a place to share resources, make decisions and discuss. They also have a blog where each of them can reflect on the learning and the process that they are going through." Source
