Slide 16: Have a go! Make your first wiki private and invite the class to it…. Until you are sure they know how to edit it fully. Don’t be scared to take a lesson or so to get used to the wiki. The more students are allowed to use the EVIL technologies, the more they will want to use them. If we fully embrace these new technologies, we can avoid student missuse.
