They must have been impressed! It is unfortunate but a reality that only 'certain' people would be allowed to edit the wiki. Perhaps if you are able to create a wiki with your students and demonstrate how all students go on and it is very manageable, the office will allow more access. Good Luck to you!<BR/>CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313468433936276047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384822114332153678.post-49598681208363685512008-03-11T15:00:00.000-06:002008-03-11T15:00:00.000-06:00Jess, I think using a wiki for a school calendar i...Jess, I think using a wiki for a school calendar is a great idea and I appreciate you sharing your experience, so we can learn from it. Having your principal buy in would be critical and like you said, everyone should be able to edit the calendar if they are going to use it. Someone who is willing to maintain it would be important to establish at the outset, as your experience has illustrated. Thanks for the insight.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929237275893310292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384822114332153678.post-7858926397062387362008-03-11T12:19:00.000-06:002008-03-11T12:19:00.000-06:00Hi Jessica,Your point about the maintaining of a w...Hi Jessica,<BR/>Your point about the maintaining of a wiki is a really good one. I never really thought about that aspect until I read your blog. I am working with students to design a VSL and I have told them that I need to be able to maintain it myself. They are quite funny when they are teaching me how to do it!<BR/><BR/>KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633685886073627258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384822114332153678.post-60613414736227903682008-03-11T11:59:00.000-06:002008-03-11T11:59:00.000-06:00Hi Jessica:What a great idea using a wiki for the ...Hi Jessica:<BR/>What a great idea using a wiki for the school calendar. Yes having others able to edit is difficult for many and will take some awhile to come around. One thing I like about pbwiki, which I'm sure is on the other wiki sites is that all edits get sent to the author/owner and can be traced and edited back. The thinking has to take a completed pedagogical shift to encourage collaboration instead of being scared of it. As you mentioned the need for trust is key.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to Seven things you should know about wikis. Great!<BR/>Cheers<BR/>ValVal Martineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03951314982340724402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384822114332153678.post-60950837723370739552008-03-10T10:43:00.000-06:002008-03-10T10:43:00.000-06:00If you do go with Wetpaint, I would like to let yo...If you do go with Wetpaint, I would like to let you know of our service to educational sites to remove advertising.<BR/><BR/>The details can be found at the end of the link!<BR/><BR/>I hope you enjoy!<BR/><BR/>http://www.wetpaint.com/category/Education--Ad-FreeTroyJMorrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030431105968141062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384822114332153678.post-68116939030001598862008-03-09T20:29:00.000-06:002008-03-09T20:29:00.000-06:00pbwiki is also my wiki of choice right now.

However, I suspect that students would like the look and feel of wikispaces. I like that wikispaces text columns are narrower which makes it easier to read over the width of pbwiki. This could be remedied by putting all text in a narrow text box.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04394438150604016353noreply@blogger.com
