One of my goals from our Web 2.0 class is to expose students to Web 2.0 tools and whenever possible teach and incorporate these tools.
For my final project I created a Wiki for National Honor Society with a plan to have all NHS students using the Wiki by the end of this year.
At our NHS meeting this morning we started planning for 2 upcoming fundraising events:
Cosmic Bowling
Winter Ball
The planning involves "signing up" for various committees, "signing up" up to sell tickets, etc. This is a perfect opportunity to use the Wiki! I suggested we use the Wiki instead of emailing or signing up a on clipboard. The kids agreed so everyone will be logging in to the NHS Wiki and updating it themselves!
At our executive committee meeting the 6 officers signed in to the Wiki and I showed them how to edit the Wiki. The officers will show the other members and any members who have not logged in by our next meeting - January 20th - they can log in at the meeting.

Hi, Ginger!
It's so awesome to see your students taking ownership! Do they use a shared login? The Wiki looks crisp and inviting - you can just tell by the pictures and activities you/they have posted that the NHS is a great group with so much going for them!
From across the bridge,
Happy New Year!

Thanks Janny. Happy New Year to you too! It is a great group and we had a great time delivering Candy Cane Grams in December(fundraiser). Thanks for your comments about the Wiki. To add all the kids as members of the Wiki, I did a bulk enroll. To do that, I built an Excel spreadsheet with their usernames, email addresses and initial passwords and uploaded it to the Wiki. Each user got an invitation to join my Wiki via the email address I uploaded. Once they acknowledge the invite, they are able to log in to the Wiki using the username and password and update the site. I made the initial password easy to remember and asked each member to change it to something more secure when they log in.
Good to hear from you!
Ginger
