As most of you know, we have a Wiki set up for Rosemore staff. (Reminder: A Wiki is an online site that can hold documents that can be opened and downloaded anywhere. It is also meant to share multiple resources with a select group of approved people.)
www.rosemore.pbwiki.com
Our Wiki holds our pacing charts, common assessments, websites, and notes to peers. Only people who have approved access can open any of our documents. This provides one common place for valuable documents that are needed quite often.
You can also create a Wiki for your classroom!! Think about it...what kind of documents do you share with your students? Lesson Plans? Worksheets? Notes? Graphic organizers? This way students who have computers at home or at the library have access to all assignments. This is great for when students are absent or need to make up an assignment.
Situation 1: Student A is at home for multiple days because they are sick. They can open the lesson plans and download the assignments while at home.
Situation 2: Student B is missing 3 assignments because they lost the originals. They go to the library to locate and print the assignments and complete them.
Here are a few Wiki sites that are easy to use for both the creater and the user:
