It has been a long time coming but my students are finally using the wiki. I cannot believe how much time they are spending on the wiki communicating with one another. They are bringing their wiki discussions into class. It is very common for us to have discussions about things that came up because of their interactions online with other students.
There is still a small group of parents and students who are a bit resistant; I haven't given up on them yet, but they are truly missing out on a great learning opportunity. Every student that has a "presence" on the wiki is quite engaged in the topics outside of school, which is extremely valuable, and are really enjoying using this tool.
