I am new to this and creating a site for my 7th grade students. Is there a way to get rid of the advertising on the chat room page? I don't think parents want them to see "how to get a date tonight" ads!
Essentially, I would like to suggest the ability to integrate (La)TeX directly into a wiki, as to allow an easier form of rendering maths rather than either posting a file to download, or, writing the math names and functions in longhand.
Basically, it would very useful to add TeX support and rendering
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.
I am an educator. Today was the first time I took my students to the class wiki. While this makes perfect sense I was surprised and disappointed that only one student could edit the class wiki at one time. I know it sounds crazy, but is it possible for two or more people to be working on a wiki page at one time?
My idea to share is that it might be a great idea to create a space for only educators and their unique perspectives, questions and answers.
I am paying out of my own pocket for a Premium wiki to use in my classroom. Now I have a separate, two-month project group that ends in April. I want their wiki work to be kept apart from my classroom (all 5th graders) but I don't want to pay for another premium wiki. Any chance I can use the 2.0 with groups very soon? I feel I need the privacy controls of the premium product. (if someone can dissuade me or show me a way to use the free product-- great!)
1) Where can I find the different types of templates that are provided for Program Management, Intranet, and Conference Planning - I'm not sure which one will work best and I can't find any descriptions on the site.
2) If I choose Business, will I ever be charged or will it remain free unless I choose to add features?
3) If I choose Business can I later change to Education or Individual? I'm not sure which will work best for my purposes. Can you also tell me what the available templates are for education and individual? Thanks!
At the end of the 40-minute session simple events began to hang or take three minutes. I don't know of any Dept of Education (DOE) network event. I gave up trying to invoke the linking tool from the point-and-click editor. It never appeared.
I also need to know how to avoid the error, "So-and-so" is editing the _____page, ... do you want to teal lock from this user?" (or words to that effect)
The page on which all the students first names appear will be in editing state a lot during a lab session.
I have between 21 and 24 kids on the site during these lab times. Is this your servers or the DOE piping?
I am using the wiki as a forum where my students can meet to construct a group project. I would like to know though how I can see whether they logged on and how long they stayed. Is this possible?
I'm trying to link pages that I've created to a central page. Done dozens of these - but now when I try to add the link it takes me to create a new page instead. Tried many different things - same result. Help! My students are waiting to get on the wiki to post their assignments!!
