Week 1 Summary

This week I have decided to create a WIKI with PBWorks. I am hoping that his will improve student and parent involvement in the classroom. I am in the process of creating it but I am not sure which direction to take the WIKI. I first posted several "day 1" items that I send home with the students for parents and students to read. I have also posted my contact information. I would really like to require the students to create a bio about themselves and post it on the WIKI the after the first week of class but I am not sure how to really incorporate this into my teaching. I teach in a public low-income school. I only have 3 computers that sometimes work in the class and can only access the computer lab once a week for about 30 minutes. My parents really don't have computers or Internet access and I thought that they could get to the library, but most do not have any form of transportation. So I am trying to decide if I make this optional for extra credit or bonus, require it, or what do I do. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
