How to use a wiki
 * I want to know how to use a wiki with my class. Can I have students brainstorm on their own and then respond on the wiki with an idea or 2 then we would be able to have a list of ideas compiled by the students…. Can I do this? How? Do they all need passwords? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Comic Strips/Digital Story Telling
 *  My kids are really interested in creating comic strips and/or digital story telling. I did comic strips last year with premade characters created by the website. The kids are interested in creating stories/comics with characters they have created. Ideas or website suggestions would be good. Also a way for them to share ideas or projects they have completed - a website, link on the school website or a blog maybe.
