Wikispaces for Educators
In January 2006, we decided to give away 100,000 free Plus wikis for K-12 education.
We didn't set out with a grand strategy, just an interest in helping teachers with our easy to use wiki technology.
In September 2008 we gave away our 100,000th K-12 wiki. We know a good thing when we see it so we're giving away another 250,000 ad-free, private K-12 Plus wikis! All the features and benefits that normally cost $50/year - for free. No fine print, no usage limits, no advertising, no catches.

Knol (from Google) .. a unit of knowledge
http://knol.google.com
Knol (from Google)
... a service designed to let people create pages of knowledge on any topic they choose
Could be described as "Wikipedia with moderation"
"Potentially, it helps solve issues like vandalism yet allows for a broad group of people to contribute."
A knol is an authoritative article about a specific topic.
"The key principle behind Knol is authorship. Every knol will have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. It's their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good."

Wikispaces is a place where you can easily build web pages with other people. Signing up and creating your own wiki space is fast, free, and easy.
Wikispaces is great for any kind of group website. It's for families, classrooms, sports teams, community groups, book clubs, fan clubs, party organizers, wedding planners, and more.
We make wikis accessible to everyone, not just technical users. We provide a clean interface, a visual page editor, and a focus on community collaboration.
To encourage the use of wikis in education, we've decided to offer free wikis to K-12 teachers and educators. These wikis can be public or private, have no advertising on them, provide unlimited usage, and are completely free. (Normally, our free spaces have advertising on them and our private spaces cost $5 a month.)

WikidPad's Trac
http://wikidpad.python-hosting.com/
WikidPad is a wiki-like notebook for storing your thoughts, ideas, todo lists, contacts, or anything else you can think of to write down.
What makes WikidPad different from other notepad applications is the ease with which you can cross-link your information.
Links in a wiki are created by typing in WikiWords. A WikiWord is any mixed case word (also called CamelCase) typed into the editor. TodoList or JohnDoe are example WikiWords.
WikidPad is not a web server, or application server, or groupware solution. WikidPad is a standalone notepad like application. WikidPad is like an IDE for your thoughts.
