I just use the discussion tab for this. You can grant permission for people to leave messages in the discussion section and not let them edit pages if you wish and you can even set it to allow non members of the wikispace to comment if you like. If…
I would like to create a place where my students can get feedback on their projects. Currently, I use a wiki to showcase their work. I'd like to add a comment section following the projects so that viewer can leave messages. Any way to do that?
Scratch cards??? Haven't come across those yet. I did Scratch for the first time this year with 8th grade and we're stumbling through our final project before moving on. Granted, it's the first year, but I'm looking for ways to improve for next, esp…
Ditto the recommendation for wikispaces. Here's what I created this year to showcase my students' work. It needs some updating as there are things we finished just this week that need to be added, but this is most of what we've done this year so far.

I ditto send…
I start teaching Word in Kindergarten - just the basics - letter recognition, enter, backspace, shift. We type an acrostic poem in the fall, a winter poem, and some other items. By the end of the year, I introduct the font formating tools using Powe…
Each month I summarize what we have been working on and put it in our bi-weekly all school newsletter. I also email it to all the parents in our school. I make sure to include links to websites and my student showcase page so that parents can see th…
That's exactly what happened to me. The books were finished and the kids emailed me their books for grading and online sharing. Took two days for the emails to come, and then the link didn't work. I thought it was something the kids did wrong until…
