Below are tips for the front page....
Add student assignments and instructions on the front page. Treat your wiki front page as a short introduction with links to other pages. Type a few bullet points and create links to the pages (to link, edit a page, select the text, and click "Insert Link"). If you have handouts, create a page called "Handouts" and upload the files there.
Use your sidebar for a table of contents. PBwiki educators love the Sidebar, which is the box on the right side of the page. Click "Edit this" and you'll be able to use the Sidebar as a table of contents that appears on every page. Many of our best educators use their Sidebar to list their project teams for easy navigation.
Create lots of pages to avoid Edit Collisions. On PBwiki, two people can't edit the same page at the same time. So if you're in a computer lab with 30 students, you don't want most of them twiddling their thumbs and waiting for the page to become editable. Instead, create lots of pages: Create a page for each project. Even consider creating a page for each student where they can save all the stuff they find. (That's what we do at PBwiki.) With lots of pages, your wiki becomes more usable.
