Term 3 Week 9

Parent Workshop

Well done again to those parents who leaped into Wikispaces this week.  It was great to see a good turn out of Room 14 parents!  The main objective of these evenings is to get you actively involved in your child's online learning.  We use wikispaces in Room 14 and we really want you to be part of this process.
How to get involved:
- create a wikispaces account
- find your child's wikispace
- click on the join now option

- you will be asked to leave a comment when requesting to join a wiki.  In the comment section, please write the relationship you have with your child (e.g. mum, dad, auntie) and the child's name (e.g. Amy's Mum).  As usernames can be obscure, this helps me ensure only known people to the child have access to edit their pages.

An alert will be sent to Miss McCauley's wikispace account (as she is the administrator of all the students wiki's).  Once this is accepted, you will be able to edit and make comments.


- Once you are a member you can use the comment feature to leave specific, meaningful comments for your child

Page of the Week - Marianne's Writers Club Blog
This week's page goes to Marianne for the credit she has given her sources.  This poem has been discussed in Room 14 this week and I really like the way Marianne has acknowledged this idea has come from someone else.  She has also invited people to look at her sources blog - great to see credit where credit is due!
