Why+use+a+wiki?

= Ideas for using a wiki in your school =

Please add any ideas you have - this will then be available for your fellow First-time Principals.

Keep in mind that by providing other staff with editing rights, its is not just you who would be responsible for managing the wiki.

//** Meetings: **//
 * suggested agendas
 * share agendas online
 * share meeting minutes
 * share documents, websites or files discussed at the meeting

//**Collaborate with others on documents:**//
 * you can do this by writing straight into the wiki and inviting others to add to it / edit it directly; OR
 * enter the document text into the wiki and ask people to make comments (this is like track changes)

//**Collaborate on PD:**//
 * Ask presenters to upload notes into the wiki (if they are ok with this)
 * Staff or attendees at the PD can also add their notes and comments from the PD so that it can be shared by all

//**Private staff wiki:**//
 * post notices in one place for all staff to access (private online noticeboard)
 * feedback page associated for questions, feedback, concerns from staff
 * teacher schedules i.e. lunch-time yard patrol
 * training days via a calendar (or as a list)
 * daily notices of staff absences

//**Evidence portfolio / digital portfolio:**//
 * your PLP, reflections, evidence of goal achievement...

//** Schools working in clusters i.e. cross school collaboration on ICT clusters: **//


 * Save time, paper and email trails...that go on forever and ever....**
