Wikispaces is kind of group website (Wikis, 2014).

In addition the teacher cane added a newsfeed, real-time assessment, projects and control the deadline of discussion whenever the teacher want through using mobile or iPad (NOVICKI, 2009). Furthermore, Wikispaces is a way to help the teacher encourage her students to learn by using technology. For the students, they can write, discuss, share their point of view, create their portfolio, develop communication skills, improve typing skills, and expand their knowledge in creative ways (50 Ways to Use Wikis for a More Collaborative and Interactive Classroom, 2008).
