  Hi Andrew 

  We are using Wikispaces quite extensively here at Wedderburn for Years 5/6=
, Years 7, 8, 9, 11 & 12. We also have a P-12 wiki that acts as a portal for=
 all the other class wikis as well as a space for teachers. At this stage th=
e class ones are mostly used as a space for access to lessons and homework.=
 Kelvin, my husband, teaches Year 11 & 12 IT and he uses them for his classe=
s. I use them for Year 7 & 8 IT and also support other classes in using them=
 for various things. They will definitely evolve over this year and the next=
 so keep coming back if you want to see changes.

  This year we are also trialling the use of wikis as digital portfolios for=
 students in Years 7, 8, & 9. These ones are private and can only be viewed=
 by the student and teachers or parents that they invite.  I am in the proce=
ss of putting together a pretend one that can be used as a demonstration.

  All students have created their log ins and their wikifolio using their ca=
ses code which makes them much harder to identify except by teachers in the=
 school. 

  We did not ask parents permission to use wikis specifically although paren=
ts do sign a release form at the beginning of the year for internet use and=
 publishing. However the parents are fully informed as they will see them at=
 parent teacher interview as it is a three way interview and students will b=
e showing them their work on their wiki. Hope that helps

  Hi all

  i have just set up a wikispace that i am intending to use with my yr 11 cl=
ass

  (have a look if u like: http://cc-it-2007.wikispaces.com/)

  i have a few questions re management:

  Have other teachers sought parental permission before allowing studnets ac=
cess to the wiki?

  Can we preview student changes before they are posted to the site?

   I'd love to have a look at a couple of spaces that are in use by secondar=
y classes

  thx,
