From what I can tell, wikis seem to have replaced what used to be called pathfinders. Many that I have looked at are not collaborative, which I think is one of the main reasons they were designed. I have used them when I need to quickly build a webpage and do not have access to the school software. I also use them with my library assistants in online exercises. I have been using pbwiki and am not happy with the space alloted to educators or with the means of allowing others access (by email invites, now). I looked briefly at wikispaces and could not see how it would be any different or better than pbwiki. Now after looking at your examples, I am going to explore using mediawiki and possibly wetpaint in the future. Are there any others out there that you would recommend?

I'm hooked on PBWiki, but you might want to talk to your IT folks. Our district IT developed an in-house wiki for staff and students to use. It is pretty plain vanilla, but easy to use and not blocked by our district filter.
