Teacher+Planning

Here is a rough outline of how the what the few classes will look like. Feel free to edit and shape this page.


 * Pre-Planning**:

To do before the first wiki class.
 * Send email invitations to students to register them as "Members" of the wiki. The wiki is set to Private, so only members will be able to edit and contribute. **To do this, go [|here] and then send invitations out according to student email addresses.**

Introduction to Wiki
 * Day 1**
 * All students will confirm from their email, their membership to the wiki. They will need to set username and password. See above link
 * The York School students will use the same login user-names that they use at school.
 * Students will view existing wikis in use: [|Wikipedia], Flat Classroom Project, [|A Million Penguins Collaborative Novel]
 * Students will view the Introductions page and then answer the prompt in the discussion area.
 * Question: Do we have students set up an RSS feed to their own group pages?


 * Day 2**
