What's a wiki? I'm glad you asked. A wiki is an online document, a webpage, that can be edited right inside the web browser. What does that mean? It means that these webpages are shared by everyone in our classroom. It means that each of you have the priviledge and responsibility of making the classroom website. You can edit any of the pages in our website. Just make sure that you don't change someone else's work (other than basic spelling/grammar) without asking them.
Note to public-
This is a website that evolves under the care and efforts of an entire classroom of gradeschool students. As such, misspellings and grammatical errors will most likely be present, but one of the goals of the site is to encourage students to take responsibility for authorship and to push themselves to constantly revise and edit these pages that are available for the public eye. I do view the site daily and will correct any incorrect information that I find, as well as make suggestions for editing, style, organization, and content. For the most part, I will rely on students to make those changes because this is effectively their website.
Parents-
If you do happen to spot problems of a more serious nature (before I do) please let me know immediately so I can right them.
