This is a excellent tool within the classroom as it would be very useful for the students to be able to add different projects, photos and information they have learnt throughout the year and allow their families or other students to also access this. It would be a place that their families can keep up with whats happening not only in the classroom but different events within the schooling environment. Another very useful way to use this site would be to get students to submit their work, for students to be able to access homework or readings. It allows teachers to also see the history of their pages to see how much work they have put in.  **Personal Use** This site is excellent for people who have hobbies or interests. It would allow them to set up pages with useful information and tips, allows others of same interest to leave comments also. Its a excellent site for researching any topic. Another useful way to use it, is as a blog. If you are a traveller you could post travel stories and photos for all family and friends to see. <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left; text-indent: 0cm;"> <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left; text-indent: 0cm;">**Possible Problems** <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left; text-indent: 0cm;"> <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left; text-indent: 0cm;"> <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left; text-indent: 0cm;"> Click this link to return to my wiki homepage. <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-align: left; text-indent: 0cm;">
 * Professional Use**
 * Very basic editing tools, that are useful but sometimes trouble arises when inserting tables or links
 * Can be a little time consuming when trying to change your layout as sometimes it wont do it the first time you try
 * If you have it on public viewing you have to remember anyone can see it so you have to be careful what is put on.
