Sorry about that Teresa! Thanks for catching this error– Here is the link to a PDF of my slides. I’ve fixed this link in the shownotes also.

Great info! Your first link doesn’t go to the pdf of your slides but instead to the audio file for this presentation. Any chance that can be changed to the pdf? Appreciate all your great work. You are a wonderful resource.

Amen to statement #3! I like the idea of the authentic audience. This excites the learner that they are being heard and valued globally!

There are several ways to address student confidentiality and privacy issues, Laura. One is via a parent and student permission form authorizing the publication of student work with the student’s first name only used. Another way is to have students publish using a student number rather than a first name. Pam Lowe, an elementary teacher in Missouri, has used this method in her classroom wikis. Another way is to have students publish using a pseudonym. They know their pseudonym, as do their parents and classmates, but others do not. Another way is to use a wiki as a “walled garden” application, where access is restricted to class members and parents only. I recommend finding a way to publish student work on the open web, however, in some form or fashion. The power of the authentic audience beyond the traditional walls of the classroom can be much more powerful and tangible when work is published openly rather than behind a login.

This is interesting. How do you preserve confidentiality in posting student work for parents to view?
