Well, I finally have my wiki set up for History Day. Bachman and I are using the same one, so I got all our students on and made sure it worked. They only had to write their topic and key question down to make sure everything works-- simple enough. It worked fairly well. The best part of having the students have accounts is that their name is attached, so if someone decides to write inappropriate comments, it's attached to them. Let's just say, there always has to be one to try it, and that genius could not figure out how I knew it was him that was calling people names on the wiki.
Why does there always have to be one kid to wreck something? I did have to spend 10-15 minutes going through and deleting his comments, just so noone else feels like they have the freedom to do this. So, he has joined the ranks of wiki probabtion--- any more inappropriate comments and his access will be gone, and I guess I will need to babysit him. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--Thank goodness it's time for break. Merry Christmas :)

Ahh, online accountability -- that will probably be a very valuable lesson to him! It sounds like things went smoothly other than that, and it will be interesting to see how things progress over the next couple of months :)
So frustrating...I just hope it wasn't one of my students. I like the comment about babysitting. It is sooooo true. Good luck with your wiki.
