Is there an easy way to create accounts for all of my students?
Sure - if you don't want your students to have to create accounts themselves, just email help@wikispaces.com with a list of usernames, email addresses (if you have them - if you don't just leave them out), and passwords in the following format and we'll create the accounts for you.

code user1,email1@address.com,password1 user2,email2@address.com,password2 user3,email3@address.com,password3 code

A few important notes that will help us create these accounts for you quickly:

We have a large number of accounts on Wikispaces, so many combinations of first names, last names, and initials are already taken. It's much more likely we can make all the accounts you ask if you add a school identifier to your students' usernames. For example, if your school is called John Smith High, instead of asking us for the usernames, //adam//, //james//, and //dom//, we recommend //jsh-adam//, //jsh-james//, and //jsh-dom//.
 * Usernames**

Please make sure that usernames are at least 3 characters long (we allow letters, numbers, underscores _, or dashes -) and that passwords are at least 6 characters long.
 * Length of Usernames and Passwords**

Finally, make sure to let us know which spaces we should add them to as members.
 * Which Space?**
