=﻿Welcome to the photography page of the wiki!=

Okay, using a wiki as a platform for showcasing student work is a great use. There are a couple things you ought to be thinking about...

should everyone in your class have editor status - can you trust your students not to delete others' work?

how can you ensure students' privacy - can you teach your students to protect their privacy and will they do it?

Who else is using a wiki just for showcasing student work and what does that look like?

3. You are going to love this one... Digital Images Collection. Here's a description:
"The Digital Images Collections Wiki is a resource of Free- and Fair-Use digital image collections that are available for anyone to use for personal or educational purposes. The main goals of the project are to provide an image gathering tool for the art history students and faculty of [|Wellesley College] and to supplement the growing visual resources collection of that institution. The wiki was created by Hollin Elizabeth Pagos (MLS graduate, Simmons College) during a summer 2007 internship in the [|Visual Resources] department of Wellesley College. The project was created in wiki format with the hope that users will continue to add their own bookmarked fair-use galleries and the resource will continue to grow beyond the input of its creator"

4. Ms. Kelly Litte has a pretty large and impressive wikispaces site called ARTLENS which is a good example for developing wikis for classes. Visit Ms. Little's wikispaces page here.
