==Welcome to our wiki page. A wiki is nothing more than a high-tech file cabinet. If you look to the left hand side of the page, you'll see links. If you click on the links, you'll be taken to a "page." The page contains documents you can view or download. You can't change a document unless you've been given access to do so.==

Lots of reasons!

 * 1) ==If a student loses or forgets a handout or document, it can be downloaded at home.==
 * 2) ==It saves paper. I can upload my Back to School Packet for you to read on your computer or smart phone.==
 * 3) ==It’s easier to “file” with a wiki than my old-fashioned filing cabinet. And it’s also more accessible to students!==
 * 4) ==It’s a “work in progress” to which students can contribute. When doing Project Citizen, we’ve found it’s a HUGE help in compiling documents which are being worked on by multiple students.==
 * 5) ==Using a wiki is a 21st century technology skill your child needs to obtain. With technology evolving at an ever increasing speed, a wiki is a gentle way to begin digitally collaborating with others.==

Now, a few b​asic rules for using our class wiki. Failure to follow these rules will result in you being "uninvited" to post to the wiki.
RULES ==__Keep safe__. Never post your personal information or information about someone else. Keep things like ages, addresses, phone numbers, names of towns, or even places we work off the Internet. Remember that information on the internet, especially embarrassing information, may still be around after you've deleted it. Be careful not to post things that may come back to haunt you later. ==

__Be nice__. The most important thing to remember is sarcasm hurts. Be overly friendly and be positive. Remember ... treat others as you would like to be treated.
==__Read, re-read, and proof-read before you click ENTER__. Don't rush to make that final. Once you press that button, you can't bring it back. Look everything over and use your spell check to be sure everything is accurate. When you are certain that the **editing is complete, then __save__ to publish.**==
