This wiki will be used to give all of the teachers a space to upload and publish student documents in the school page that we have created in this wiki. Notice each school's name on side. You can click on the school name to find individual pages with school information and student work as it gets added.

If this school page is not enough, you can easily [|create your own wiki] and simply copy and paste the link to that wiki into your school page on the side. Then, you'd be able to organize pages per class (or maybe even for each student) that would showcase their work!

WAIT! What's a Wiki you ask. Maybe Lee Lefever's "[|Wikis in Plain English]" will help.

Elementary teachers may need to scan their work into a computer if the student has artwork along with the writing. See if your school has a scanner and then, find out how to save it to your computer. Once you have it saved, you can upload it into this wiki or any other website that you use. The same thing for pictures, you may use a digital camera and then once it's saved on your computer you can upload it using the "Insert Images and Files" icon.

__**Other on-line sites** :__ **[|ArtPad]** : At this site students can paint/draw pictures and when they're done, save it, and get a URL to share. When you click on the URL you'll actually see how they created their painting/drawing!

**[|Voicethread]** : This may be blocked in your district. At [|Voicethread] you can upload pictures, video and/or Word or PowerPoint pages. Then, your students can record their voice to talk about the picture/video/document, they can use the pen to write over the picture/video/document or even record a short video to the side of it. Here's a [|Reader's Theatre Voicethread] embedded into a blog that an Australian teacher did with her Grade 4 students.
