Getting Started

 

PBWorks is an online home for your classroom.  Simply put, PBworks is your classroom website.  Your PBworks site is called a wiki (from the Hawaiian word for quick web) because it is quick and simple to set up.  Students and parents can access the wiki from any device at anytime.  You can store classroom resources, collaborate with groups, share information with parents, and have students share their writing 

 

Learning How 

  

Go to https://plans.pbworks.com/signup/basic20 to set up a wiki in the free education version for now. 

 

  • Type in the address you want for your wiki; keep the address short and consider including BCPS, your school's acronym, and/or your last name. (example BCPSphmsHennaut)
  • Check the boxes for Education and to agree to non-commercial use. Create an account, or Log In if you already have a PbWorks account.
  • If you would like to upgrade your wiki to Campus Edition (which provides additional features including the ability to set folder and page-level permissions for Users), see below. 

 

BCPS Professional Development REQUIREMENT for Ugrading a PbWorks Wiki to Campus Edition

All BCPS employees must participate in PbWorks online training in order to have a wiki upgraded to Campus Edition. Go to the online training tutorial at http://bcpstraining.pbworks.com and click To Join this Workspace, REQUEST ACCESS on the right sidebar. The Administrator of the PbWorks training wiki will add you to the workspace as a User, so that you can complete the required training modules and request a wiki upgrade. Follow the online directions in order to upgrade your wiki to the CAMPUS edition that has many more features and security capabilities.
