This makes it very nice. I have also told my students that I can see every change they make to the wiki, as there is a feature on there for the administrator. In this way, students know that if they change something they are not allowed to change, it will be seen and it will decrease their grade on the "appropriate participation" aspect of their rubrics.<br /><br />We are just beginning with basic notetaking that will be converted from paper to wikispace. I have yet to begin any discussions on there.Miss Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201985992769507940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099119354411860730.post-72091913235707658442010-09-26T11:33:18.666-07:002010-09-26T11:33:18.666-07:00Jacqueline

I like that you are going to try to have the school involved as a whole, but in my school there are teachers that are not willig to try new technology. I also think it is a great idea tointroduce the students into this one step at a time, this should limit problems or confusion. Let us know how it works for you.<br />JenniferJennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099119354411860730.post-39630671940795333172010-09-25T13:14:05.778-07:002010-09-25T13:14:05.778-07:00Hi, Jacqueline,

How are you going to handle the security issues over your students? Do you think they will be able to work with the wiki? I would love to get a wiki going with my students, but there are times that I wonder if they could handle it. How slow are you going to go, when you are showing them how to use the wiki? Good luck and have fun! I am so excited for you.Tami Phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093390251844967932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099119354411860730.post-17611504245018600472010-09-25T13:08:39.727-07:002010-09-25T13:08:39.727-07:00Hi, Jacqueline,

I have to ask you if you think you will have very many problems getting it going? I know you said that you were going to do it in steps, which is a good thing, but I worry about my students and what they will write on it. Their spelling and sentence structure is not very good at this point. My colleagues and I have talked about how behind they are in that area. I teach 6th grade, too, but this year seems to be really behind, for some reason. How are you going to handle the security issue over the privacy of the students? How slow are you going to go? I would love to hear more of the details about the implementation of your wiki. I like what you are doing. Good luck and have fun!!<br /><br />TamiTami Phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093390251844967932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099119354411860730.post-60346557634634107482010-09-24T18:03:01.866-07:002010-09-24T18:03:01.866-07:00Jacqueline,

This realization of security occured in my district when a classroom wiki was not set up properly and someone left an inappropriate change to the students' wiki. <br /><br />I want to caution you, but not scare you. I have seen wikis used as a wonderful media for assessment and collaboration.<br /><br />Good Luck!Danielle Mislickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564563239860023674noreply@blogger.com
