Thing 11: Create a Wiki

I've been meaning to create a wiki regarding 9th Grade Diversity training, now I've got one started:

http://9thgradediversity.wikispaces.com/

I think this will be a great resource for the schools that are scheduled to participate. I want this to be a site where school leaders can go and get information. I also want them to leave their feedback on how it is going. Another page for me to add is "What_Next?" This will give schools a place to share what type of planning and activities they will do to make the training sustainable. This will be a great tool for the schools to see what other schools are doing and get ideas!

This is so much more of a collaborating tool than a blog, which is "mine" and people can comment. One of the greatest obstacles for this training has been parental consent and staff awareness. Another page in this wiki will give all participants the opportunity to edit a parental consent letter to make get the best information to parents for student participation.

I'm very eager to share this with schools that participated in the training this year, to better prepare schools participating next year!
