It is proving to be a very daunting task to create my first wiki.

Some of the many questions that have come up:

  • How much security is too much?
  • Would my students’ parents understand this?
  • What would be good internet policies to include?
  • Does this make good organization sense for a wiki?
  • Can they navigate around the wiki with ease?
  • What will my students learn if I made my pages this way?
  • What about pictures and videos?
  • Should that go in a separate folder?

What has been helpful is doing this in chunks. It allows me to return and see my wiki from a different perspective. My biggest question when school starts will be 1. How many of my students have a computer at home? 2. Are they allowed to use it? I could be doing all of this for nothing!

But until then, BRING THEM ON.
