Wikipedia Entry

Clio High School, where I work, does not currently have a Wikipedia page.  I was going to create one for them, but Wikipedia recommended that I get some experience editing other pages first.  So I went to my alma mater's page, Dakota High School.  They have a unique setup in that the whole district has one Wikipedia page.  Each school is listed under "high schools," "middle schools," and "elementary schools."  When I was reading the "high schools" part, they mentioned Chippewa Valley High School (our rival school) as being one of two high schools in the school district.  This is not true anymore, since Mohegan High School opened up a few years ago.  I edited the Wikipedia page to reflect that change.

Wikispaces

I have some experience using Wikispaces as a class website.  At my old job in North Carolina I used it to conduct my semi-synchronous AVID 3 high school course.  Students were responsible for checking the website for assignments, the calendar, and other announcements.  They also had their own wikis where they hosted their movies (some also posted to YouTube with parent permission), calendars, and other assignments.
