Wiki+Rules

toc This is the agreement that has come from all the suggestions students made in class on the 3rd September. They are now the rules for our wiki.

Purpose of the wiki
The members of 7ICT Design will be participating in a class wiki for the purposes of:
 * Creating written projects/ media projects and commenting on each other’s work
 * Encouraging process writing
 * Practicing persuasive writing
 * Practicing taking varied points of view on a topic
 * Sharing special projects they complete in class

**Safety**
This wiki will be created using a wiki tool at http://wcc7.wikispaces.com In the interest of students’ safety, the following restrictions are set on the wiki:
 * Only the teacher can enter registrations
 * Only students, parents, and staff members with a related interest to this class are allowed to add to or edit the wiki.
 * All wiki content is subject to teacher approval and/or deletion.
 * The teacher will be notified of any edits to the wiki.
 * No individual or identifiable profiles are available on the wiki

**Rules**

 * All students and participants in this wiki project must agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement.
 * Students must only add work to their own page. No student may edit or delete the work of another. Students may add positive or helpful comments in the discussion area of the other pages. They must put their site name by any comment they make.
 * No student or other participant may include any information or images on the site that could compromise the safety of themselves or other wiki members.
 * All students will be respectful in their postings and edits.
 * All students must protect their log-in and password information. If students suspect that a password has been compromised, he/she must notify the teacher immediately.
 * All use of the wiki must be in accordance with the school’s Acceptable Use Policy, including entries made from computers outside of school.

**Consequences of breaking the rules**
The teacher will make every reasonable effort to monitor conduct on the class wiki in order to maintain a positive learning community. Any student who breaks a rule may lose the right to participate on the wiki. At the teacher’s discretion, a warning may be given in the case of minor infractions.
