This is my site for educators about how to set up a WetPaint wiki. The various modules cover topics such as

The site is meant to be used in conjunction with the workshops that I run for educators on blogging, but if you find the modules useful outside of that setting, then good for you! What's more, you can do the course at your own pace and in whatever order you want.

Set up your own wiki

For all users, however, I recommend that you set up your own wiki at the beginning of the course and you start blogging your answers, thoughts and reflections to the questions raised in the course. With a wiki, you can record your own learning journey and keep a track of any useful material that you find yourself on the Web. For example, each module asks you to clarify what your own learning objectives are and then to reflect at the end on what you've learnt (or not!). If you blog these questions, and your answers to the focus questions and exercises, you will:


BrushUP! aims to take the ‘freak out' factor out of setting up a wiki or wikis for your classroom and, to that end, the site is aimed at novices.

I hope you enjoy the site. Let me know if you find any really terrific resources that you think should be added, or just let me know what you think of the modules. Each module has a discussion post set up for it, so you can leave your comments and discoveries there.

Have fun!
