= Back to Session start for Guided Wiki Walk =

A dd your questions below as you are working or before the second meeting- initials optional:
What are tags used for? Can you change permissions on a part of a page so it can't be changed? Can you give students permission to work on only one page and not another? For example, 6th grade only works on the 6th grade page and 7th grade only works on the 7th grade page?
 * Archived questions from previous sessions:**

I have a similar question, can students see each other's pages but not be permitted to edit them? Can kids edit the teacher's home page? (Kathy A)
 * Response: You can LOCK an entire page from edits by anyone except you (the organizer of the wiki). You cannot limit access page by page to certain people with a free K12 account, BUT you can tell who made any changes, so you can certainly hold those who make unauthorized changes accountable, and you can REVERT the page to the way the authorized users wanted it. The key is letting them know that unauthorized changes will be dealt with severely. You may have to "make an example"of someone, though usually the omniscience of the organizer is enough deterrent.** _CHS

I would like to add pages that can only be accessed by going to another page first...like an outline. There is an example of what I'm talking about on the LOPP examples page--it is the last one listed in the elementary section and it's created using wetpaint???(Amy B.)
 * Response: What you are asking is to actually two skills: 1) to make pages that do NOT show in the navigation area. We will show you how to EDIT the navigation area and 2) how to make LINKS from one wiki page to another. We will show both in today's session. -CHS //I THINK I GOT IT--SOOOO COOL!!Thanks for the explanation!// **

I checked with our school technology person and one of the issues he brought up is that our younger students (4th and below) do not have school email addresses and home email is not accessible at school, so how do I invite them to join the wiki? I need to hear from an expert in "wiki with elementary." ;-) (Amy B.)
 * Response:**
 * Fear not. One of the reasons we are using wiispaces for this class is that you can bulk enroll ( or individually enroll) your students WITHOUT email addresses. That save a huge safety hassle, though there ARE ways around it ( Gmail for teacher with subaccounts for students). We will be discussing the bulk enroll (sans email) today! - CHS**
