Parents are "Piki About Wikis" 2-27-09

This week, the kids posted their “Wiki Bio” paragraphs on their personal page. They are so excited to begin writing their reviews and sharing. I am pleasantly surprised at what a motivation this has been to encourage their reading and writing! Only two of 21 parents requested that their child’s picture not be posted on the site. The children were very disappointed. I completely understand the reasoning of the parents, but was disappointed as well. I think I will look into the possibility of making the site private with access only to our students with a password. I’ll discuss this with the team at our next session. For now, I am removing the 2 kids’ pics, and will look for cartoon character pics to put in their place. :(
