5. I prefer settings to be as secure as possible.
Free educator account is not as secure as the
paid educator account, but is good.
Not having email accounts keeps outsiders
from being able to email participants.
I like pages to be open for outsiders to view,
not just members, although you can block
the public.

8. I can see all edits and comments
I can remove edits and comments
I can lock off certain people
I can lock pages
On paid educator accounts I can control who
gets to edit what pages
Even if students think they have deleted
items, I still can see them and retrieve them if
needed.

10. Every time I access this web 2.0 tool, there are
more security and monitoring features
available for teachers.
BUT…
My favorite monitoring feature is being able to
monitor their “ Positive Critical comments”
This encourages students to make sure they
help to build each others work.

12. There may be monitoring concerns as there
are in any other web-based activity, but as
Gooding (2008) says:
The beauty of a wiki is that it not only
promotes collaboration among individuals
from around the world, it depends on it. The
interactive nature of its design allows
individual users to enter or edit entries in real
time and to have those contributions
published immediately. (p. 48)
