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?)
