Thanks for stopping by, Candace. The Wiki Warranty has been a great help, as have the other wiki-related ideas at TeachersFirst. For example, I took the advice there and talked with my supervisors before unleashing students on the wiki. I’m glad to have done so because the support in my school has been helpful. Our principal has been checking our wiki out and hopes to find time to join in the collaboration, which is encouraging for me and exciting for students.

Glad to hear that the Wiki Warranty was a useful tool in handling vandalism on your wiki. Think of it as pre-emptive weed-control. Glad to hear that you are willing to keep learning from your “needs work” items. Your students probably learn as much from witnessing your willingness to learn as they do from the novels! Keep on plugging! (Don’t you love RSS feeds that pick up mention of your favorite words in blogs? I found you fast!)
