Alan Stange replied to Marie Swift's discussion Best Wiki tool for users without email addresses"We use DeskNow in our division. Each student from K-12 has an email address. Many have not activated them. My grade four and fives activated them for the first time this year. I think this is a useful service for divisions to offer. It is monitored.…"
"On PBWorks, you can make student accounts in your wikis (and they are ad-free). I believe there is a way to do that in Wikispaces, too. If you let them know you're an educator, they'll give you a Plus account that is free from…"
SpEdTeach2 replied to Marie Swift's discussion Best Wiki tool for users without email addresses"A good alternative for a wiki resource that 'creates' virtual addresses for students is PBWorks.com. Earlier on (April 09), my wiki had been shared with students in this way - a tool in the Settings area that creates as many logons and…"

Marie Swift replied to Judi Wolf's discussion Examples of Elementary Classroom Blogs"Hi Judi!
I'm fairly new at doing a blog with students. I have been trying to work it in with all of the facets of my Grade 3 writing program. During different sessions we have used our blog for Modelled or Shared writing. Sometimes I have…"
Marie Swift replied to Marie Swift's discussion Best Wiki tool for users without email addresses"Thanks, Daniel. I had heard you could do this but didn't know how. It appears that you need to insert one name at a time into the box. How do you upload the list? Also, do I create the passwords for the kids or will the program do that for me?"
Daniel Moix replied to Marie Swift's discussion Best Wiki tool for users without email addresses"Wikispaces has an excellent user creator. You can upload a spreadsheet or text list of student names and requested usernames. It will create them all at once and link them to your wiki for you. Very handy!"
Marie Swift replied to Marie Swift's discussion Posting audio for students"Thanks Al and Kev. Both of you have been very helpful. I'm going to try a combination of the ideas to finish my project this time and you've both given me lots to think about for next time."
Kev replied to Marie Swift's discussion Posting audio for students"Re-encode the files as mp3s, that will cut the file size down immensely.
Also, this probably won't help but if you use wikispaces it is very easy to embed sound files so they stream and don't have to be downloaded."
Al Tucker replied to Marie Swift's discussion Posting audio for students"M Swift:
I use imeem to host audio. This works just like YouTube does for video, only the concentration is on audio files. The files can be spoken word (interviews, language practice, etc.) or music files. If you have a class wiki, moodle page or…"
Marie Swift posted a discussionPosting audio for students
Hi!I'm looking for a simple way to post audio files for students. Many of my students are on dial up connections at home and can't get the files that I inserted into Dreamweaver pages on a page on my class blog ( http://mswift.edublogs.org/student-work/ ). At my school they play nicely. At the kids' homes, they're getting messages that they have to download the file, which takes a LONG time on dial up. I was thinking I could use Gcast or…See More
Becky Ernsberger replied to Marie Swift's discussion Best Wiki tool for users without email addresses"I use PBWiki. It allows you to create student usernames/passwords without e-mail accounts."
Kev replied to Marie Swift's discussion Best Wiki tool for users without email addresses"wikispaces works fine. You can put in anything for the email addy on sign up and it doesn't matter. It says you need to click on a confirmation link in the email but you don't. The account works just fine without clicking anything at all."

I'm guessing this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find the answer. Which wiki tool should I use if my students don't have individual email addresses? I want to have individual logins for them so I can keep track of their contributions. (They're only in Grade 3) Ideally I would like to use wetpaint because I can get the version with no ads for educators.
Marie Swift replied to Marie Swift's discussion Suggestions needed for shared Venn Diagram"Thanks, Jennifer and Nancy. I will look into both ideas. I also might just use Notebook 10 and import the pages into a wiki (if that's possible). I've just finished recording Narratives on Audacity and publishing them into a web page,…"

Isabel Pessoa said… - Hi! I am attaching my classroom website. http://fcinternet.hwdsb.on.ca/~Isabel.pessoa/ You can get to both my blog and wiki through this site. The platform for the website is through First Class so not a lot of freedom in presentation. I have not done too much with my wiki or my blog, but now that I have been through it once I am looking forward to tackling it more thoroughly next year. This was my first year trying everything (blog, wiki, podcasting). I have been using the SmartBoard for two years now and have created many interactive lesson plans. My principal is a visionary and paid our (yes a few people from my school went) conference fee. We paid our way and the hotel. Our board only sent our IT consultants and the IT SO. I don't think I went down there as well prepared as I could have been. I have been doing a lot of work since I have been back.
Our school has SmartBoards in every room. We have document cameras, iPods, recorders, scanners. We will be beginning a 1-to-1 computing class next year. Every classroom has access to about 4 computers for student use.
