I wonder if this is filterable. Meaning, I wonder if this can be open with the rest being closed? At least it would be a start.

This video lasts about 51 minutes. But, show this to your students. It starts out slowly (although still very cool, IMO) but this guy is amazing, as is his work.

Projects: A better way to work in classroom groups
"We’re calling this new feature Projects. Whenever you have a particular assignment or activity, you can create a project for it, then define teams of members, each with its own unique pages, files, and permissions. Team content (that is, pages and files) are grouped together, separate from the main area of the wiki. That way, students in teams can do their group work completely independently from other teams."
- Drag members into the teams you want to reassign them to.
-
- Public to wiki: All wiki members can view and edit pages
- Protected to wiki: All wiki members can view pages, but only members of this team can edit pages
- Private: Only members of this team can view and edit pages
- Custom: Define custom permissions (on available to Super-plan wikis or wikis on Private Label sites)
You have several options for team-level permission settings:
- To add a new page, just click the New Page icon in the action menu. This will create a new page on the team (not on the main area of the wiki), so it will be protected by the same permissions as the rest of the team.
- Your team also has a special set of files, separate from the files for the main area of the wiki. If you upload a file while editing a team page, it’ll be added to the files for that team.
