Creating+Parameters

A wiki or blog can be used to extend your classroom walls to anyplace and anytime your students have access to the Internet. It is up to you to set the parameters for the student participation. Which pages will you allow students to edit, to read-only, to upload content to-besides text? Will you invite parents to comment? Will you have this be a shared space with other classes; with other teachers; with other schools?

What are the district guidelines?
 * See the [|Faculty Portal]

What must you consider before setting expectations?
 * Do all students have Internet access at home?
 * Do all students have signed permission of file?
 * Will you limit the times students can access? (this will help you in monitoring and helping students set aside time)

 * Do you have a [|rubric] or exemplar to guide students?
 * How will you help students reach your expectations?
