Thanks for your attention at the wiki PD. I know it is a lot to take in. If you need help and refreshers please see me. Kim, Rhonda and others are also getting good with playing around. __ADDING YOUR STUDENTS __ When you're ready to get your students involved, the best way to do this is make a list of log-on names and passwords in Excel. I used their existing Cases names and passwords. I had to make some passwords longer as it needs to be at least 6 characters to be acceptable for Wikispaces. I simply made 3 letter animals a plural, for example 53dog became 53dogs, 21 pig became 21 pigs. You then go to Manage Wiki, then User Creator. Follow the instructions there (choosing to upload a .xls file - which is short for Excel). It will do a search on the user names to ensure there is no one else with the same user name. I had to change a couple and I choose to put in their full last name. Eg cro0002 became cross0002. Don't worry about writing all the changes down as Wikispaces will send you an email with all the details which you can then save and print. That's it. Now your kids can sign in and edit your wiki. I have chosen to protect pages that I don't want the kids to be able to edit. To do this go to Manage Wiki, then Pages , then Actions and choose Lock.
