 * Collaborate: post a prompt and have students respond to you and each other, have students complete projects and post them to the wiki, have students work together to create a wiki
 * Share: simple way to get internet links to your students
 * Examples: 1st grade 3rd grade 5th grade HS Social Studies Spanish Special Ed./Autism HS Science [|Music] Art [|Elem. Special Ed]

Using Embed Code
When you create something on another site that give you embed code, highlight and copy the code. Click the TV set on your wiki, select "Other HTML," and paste the code in there. Click save, then save again. If there are advertisements within the code, you can remove them. Look for the brackets containing the advertisement and delete them.
