In Fall 2010, students began to see some goals and some instructions to meet those goals on a public, yet protected, website that uses www.wikispaces.com . It can be accessed at www.ststanislausit.wikispaces.com . They can see the information and download what they need to private or shared folders. Sometimes student work is uploaded as samples for others to see.

Eighth graders and members of the computer ambassadors club have their own website pages on wikispaces.com. We are striving to use 21 st Century Tools. Benefits include, on-line collaboration by sharing wikispaces with classmates, on-line communication by easy upload of important data as well as messages, and on-line creativity by uploading projects for use at school or home. One goal is that students become engaged in producing educational work of high excellence.
