 * Suggestions for Teacher Wiki Users**
 * Give students a framework to follow when they sign up for a wiki. For example, have all students use their first initial and last name. You may consider having students write their username and password on index cards that you keep, it is inevitable that many will forget this information.
 * Students have the most trouble understanding that they must register with WikiSpaces AND sign up to be a member of the class wikispace. It is a two-part process.
 * Never let students post pictures of themselves to their wiki account. Internet predation is a real threat and students should protect their anonymity by never using their full names, posting pictures of themselves or giving out personal information such as address, phone number or even their MySpace name.
 * Remind parents that they may always access the wiki from any computer with internet access as long as you set the WikiSpace to PUBLIC. Setting the space to PRIVATE will only allow memebrs to see and edit information on the wiki.
 * It is discouraged from giving parents rights to edit wiki information for various reasons. if you want parents and administrators to be able to view the class wiki pages, set the permissions to PUBLIC.
