"My students continue to amaze me with what they want to know and how they learn. I am constantly surprised by their intelligence and curiosity. Above all they are resourceful and enterprising. There is no limit to what they can do. I am delighted to be able to provide them with this Wikispace. I know it will provide them with opportunities for learning. A Wikispace enables students to learn by investigating, discovering, collaborating and sharing. It took me a long time before I had the courage to speak up as a student. The Wikispace discussion feature means that everyone can have his or her say without fear or favour."
