Okay, it has been a blast learning how to put together my wiki site on PBworks. It is fairly easy and user friendly once you get the hang of it. I continued my learning in this last session by learning how to add assignments to my wiki. I went in to create a new page and used the template they already had setup for assignments to lay out the work for week one. It was as easy as 1, 2, 3...

I also added a resource section in my sidebar that was just links to external sites that were needed for the assignments I posted.

I then learned how to set the security on my wiki by watching a video they had under the support section.

Setting Page Security from PBworks Support on Vimeo.

The only thing I didn't like was not being able to lock certain pages to only be edited by the administrator without having to pay the $99 subscription fee. I am still going to try it and see if it works out, but I am leery of not having that feature in the free version.  

I also would have rather had an option for a blog or discussion forum, but I did not see that as a feature in the PBworks wiki. I supposed that I can still put an external link in my resources section to one elsewhere. I just prefer having it all in one place for easy access.

Now all I have to do is invite my users to join and I will be on my way to having a collaborative workspace.
