[|Wikispaces]
This wiki provider has a special deal going for teachers at the moment. Teachers can go straight onto Wikispaces mid-level pricing plan for free as long as the wiki is being used for education. This means that you can get a wiki with no advertising, the ability to make the wiki private to a select group, and you can also have more customisable templates and themes. Wikispaces is also generous with their data limit which is why I am using them for this site. The limit is 2GB+ of storage (if you really need to go over for legitimate reasons they say to email them and it will be fine). I like the option of using a floating toolbar so that you don't always need to scroll to the top of the wiki when you need to do an edit.
