  12. Do’s • Use the “Help” button • Identify yourself • Make the Wiki user friendly • Start small, start with 1 assignment or just a few pages • Have a Plan • Make sure each student can find the wiki and navigate through it. • Make a separate page for each subject, topic or project • Give each page a slightly different look • The navigation is the key. Keep it maintained. • Only have relevant pages visible. (Pages can be hidden until you are ready to use them.) • When you add a link to an external site; do have it open in a new window.

  13. Don’ts • Post student information as names, grades etc. • Make your Wiki to “busy”. More is not always better. • If you post a photo of a student you must have a signed press release. • Have non-working links
