WikiSpaces is a way for anyone to create a webpage for whatever reasons that they want. In MAET, we have used it to create our Special Interest Groups. It seems to be mostly used for education; however, I have seen it used for other resources as well.
The benefits of this site are that you can house a lot of different information. WikiSpaces enables the user to embed pretty much every file from any type of website. For example, I embedded our YouTube video onto our homepage. Another benefit of this site is that it looks very professional when it is completed.
The biggest downfall of this site is that editing is a pain! There were numerous times when my “saved” information was deleted. I had a lot of trouble trying to make images smaller while maintaining aspect ratio. I also ran into a lot of problems when trying to get things to center, bold, and font changed.
