[|Look at how I'm using wikis] in my classroom. My students are involved in a presidential election simulation. It costs their political party $2500 per page, but it's 2008. What's a better way to get the word out about your party's candidate for president?

I also happened to notice that someone started a Wikipedia entry for [|Bow Lake Elementary], yes OUR Bow Lake! Right now, there's nothing there. It seems they've left it to us to explain to the world what Bow Lake is all about. I hope you'll sign into Wikipedia and start your editing! Wouldn't this make a great writing activity for our students? While you're there, you can also check out the one for [|Highline School District].
