All Teachers,

Please disseminate this crucial information and bring it up at your respective teacher meetings and in your classrooms.  There is a wiki glitch!  Vicki has identified a glitch when a participant is attempting to join a wiki using an iPad.  The join me button does not appear on iPads, so for now all iPad users need to be invited by email and this WILL work..so they will need to be invited to both the wiki #1 (to our gated community) and to the project wiki.  Please share this information with all your teachers as soon as possible. Thanks Lisa.

Jessica Friday posted a super awesome blog for her students about wiki editing complete with screenshots, arrows, captions, and circles.  I just had to share this -> http://around-the-world-in-80-blocks.blogspot.com/2012/10/hwc-day-3...

Just a reminder that teachers should be online with their students in all educational spaces monitoring students. This includes the student ning when your students are online. Thanks!
