Educators, we've heard you loud and clear. Our e-mail based 2.0 login system will not work for students with no e-mail addresses.

Let's use this space for a productive discussion on what YOU think will work for your students. Do you want to see invite keys, user names, or something entirely different? Post it here! All of our PBwiki staff members are viewing this site, and it's a great way to get your voice heard.

We're asking for YOUR thoughts. Think about the privacy and security requirements in your school districts, the amount of work you're willing to put into getting your students registered on the wiki, and the age/ability of your students.

Perhaps as as a database? Template? I am using V1. V2 is at least two months in the future.

It takes a long time to type the new homework for the fifth graders into the top of the ever-growng "Homework page". To make it more clear I like to lay it out as an outline using bullets and indenting. I want the fifth graders to do this every afternoon, not me; they are slow and uncertain keyboarders, so re-typing "Math" "Reading" etc. will bog down the process.

What are the rest of you doing when you have to enter structured information every day? If I make a template some of the kids will change too many type elements, despite all I can do to train them (There isn't a lot of time for practice like this...)

In addition, I'd like to be able to pull up an assignment from a while back.

Any thoughts?

Looking to read some great blogs about technology and education - do you have any suggestions?
