Getting StartedBefore you start your wiki with your class(es), make some basic decisions:• How do you envision using the wiki? ( How will you explain it to parents and
administration?
• Who will be able to see the wiki? (the public? members only?)
• Who will be able to edit the wiki? (the public? members only? vary by section?)
• Who will be able to join the wiki? (students only? parents? invited guests? the public?)
• What parts of the wiki will you “protect” (lock from changes)?
• Who will moderate the wiki for appropriateness, etc?
• Who will have the ability to reset changes?
• Will you, as the teacher, be notified of all changes?
• Will the wiki have Individual or global memberships? (by individual students if you want an individual record of who made changes, or with one log-in per group or class?)
