What is a WIKI?

A WIKI is a website that allows users (children and parents) to collaboratively create and edit web pages. I am in the beginning stages of using a "WIKI" so, WE will have fun learning together!

Parents are encouraged to use this "WIKI" just like the children.

This is a new tool for me, so I hope to continue to build and develop the different subject areas. Each student will have an individual "wiki" page. You are more than welcome to comment on anything on your child's page as well as another child's page. Parent and child will share a **username and password** that I have created for them. All you have to do is sign in with the username/password that I give you and then click on your child's name in the left hand column. Then click on "edit" on the top right. Type your comment/encouragement to your child and then click "save".

Once we get started using our individual pages, it is extremely important that we respect the thoughts and feelings of our classmates. I have the ability to see everything that is written and posted. Even if you post something and then try to "delete" it, I will be able to look in the wiki's history and see everything. Anyone who uses this inappropriately, will lose the privlege to participate. Members who use THIS wiki are members who have been **invited to use it by me**.

To start this year in Kindergarten our members will be:

Mrs. Spuhler Mrs. Spuhler's Kindergarten Children Their Parents Mrs. Hanlon and "our 5th grade Buddies Mrs. Marusinec, LMC Director
