I stumbled across this new feature on wikispaces thanks to coolcatteacher on twitter. When analyzing a page in wikispaces, one of the first things that you look for is the citations. Students must learn how to verify information that they find on the web. It is equally important that students cite where they find information when publishing on the web. Wikispaces has just made that task even easier. (wikispaces runs our private brand wiki) Students can now place tags around their footnote when publishing on wikispaces, and it will automatically place the footnote on the bottom of the page. Please include this in your rubrics when grading wiki’s. A tutorial as to how to place footnotes can be found at the wikispaces blog.

Blogging Rules!
1. Please, no last names, phone numbers or addresses. This is a school site. This is no place for personal information.
2. Do not link to your personal blog/journal from your school blog; you might reveal information on there that you don't want to reveal on your school blog. Also, only link to sites that you have evaluated and are willing to stand behind the content of the site.
3. If you want to write your opinion on a topic, make sure you are critical of the idea and not of the author.
4. Never disrespect someone else in your blog, whether it's a person, an organization, or just a general idea. You don't want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about; don't do it to someone else.
6. Don't write about other people without permission.
7. Watch your language! We're not at home, we are at school, consider your blogs just like a class assignment you would turn in on paper. Keep it professional looking.
8. Make sure things you write about are factual. Don't be posting about things that aren't true.
9. Keep your blog education-oriented.

This is excellent news as we just discussed citation of sources in all of my computer classes this week. Glad to see wikispaces is taking this problem seriously!
