On creating the wiki I found it to be quite overwhelming. For someone that is not familiar with technology it could be quite hard to navigate around the page. However, it is a great e-learning tool for the classroom. I would use a wiki for group assignments in the upper years of primary school. This way the students can share in information they have researched individually and eventually create a group assignment. I would create a wiki for my classroom during a science experiment where students could post about their findings on the topic. Even an exploration assignment in the environment where students could post images of either flora or fauna, and post information regarding their particular find. Students will be able to learn from each other and about new living things their classmates discovered.
While navigating through my wiki, I went into the settings link and found that you could add members and make the wiki private if needed. This was a great indication that a wiki could be used in a classroom privately, creating a safe environment for students, teachers and parents.
Here is the link to the wiki I created: http://meljane1087.wikispaces.com
