=Dear Teachers, = =Welcome to our new wiki. We toyed with lots of names - Ruthlands, Merriven, Ruthlanside - the list goes on. Until such time as we get an interim or confirmed name, this is it. We decided to begin a wiki for a few reasons. We wanted a way that we could easily post things on line for starters. We're not on the same survers, so the school portals wouldn't work. Email trees don't always work as people forget to hit reply all and then people are left out. Mainly though, we wanted to build communication and the sense of one school. We know we're a year a way from the new building, this is part of the bridging efforts between the schools. When the Ultranet hits our school, we can just copy and paste our wiki onto the school wiki and we're one step ahead. = = = =We have tried to organise this in a way that makes sense. Please let us know if you have any suggestions! We are hoping that as you become more familair with this process, you will take ownership of it and maintain the wiki yourselves. = = = =There is a page for each planning team. We will post the curriculum units and resoucres generated by term. As you develop activities, worksheets etc, you can upload them to the appropraite wiki page. In this way, we will build a bank of ideas that are easily accessible. We'll also include links to general resources and articles that you may find useful. Use it as you will. This is your wiki! = = = = = =Dayle and Debbie =
