=Ideas for Wiki: =

Students’ personal pages:
Suggestion: Set up a new wikispace and link it to your class page. Make the username and password easy by using school name, room number, etc.

Lessons and links:
Great place to put step by step instructions for the students to refer back to while they are working on a project. Add pictures, video clips, weblinks, podcasts, etc.

Information for Parents:
Calendars, Science Fair rules, etc.

Students can turn in assignments, projects, etc. on line

Discussion Tab:
Students can send messages to each other, blog about a certain topic, take notes on a lesson, etc.

Helpful Hints:
Only upload one or two movies/podcasts/quicktimes on a single page. Connecting to the link will upload faster than the whole file.
