= Welcome to the = = Northern Illinois Reading Recovery® Consortium Wiki! =

Getting Started
Because you are a member of the Northern Illinois Reading Recovery® Consortium, you have been invited to join this wiki. Hopefully, our NIRRC members will find this wiki helpful and will participate in its creation. This is a collaborative space where we Reading Recovery® teachers can share ideas and problem solve together. We can share our celebrations, questions, and comments. We can upload calendars, agendas, articles, notes, and links to helpful reading Websites. We can comment on our new understandings and share our successes, stories, and "aha" moments. We can post questions and ask colleagues for their advice. There are so many things that we can incorporate into our wiki. To make this Wiki useful for you, we need your input. Help us design a wiki that meets your needs. Wikis can have many pages linked together. Feel free to add to the Wiki yourself or to send an email with your suggestions. Let us know how we can customize this wiki to meet your needs. We will try to accommodate all reasonable requests.

What is a wiki?
Click on the link below to learn more about Wikis. A Wiki is basically a collaborative Website that is easy to create and edit. As a member, you will be able to edit and save.

Privacy Issues
Anyone can read our wiki, but only invited members can edit this Wiki. It is a protected space for us to share and collaborate. Because it can be read by anyone, please do not use full names for privacy reasons. If you need to refer to someone, first names and the initial of the person's last name will suffice. Do NOT use student names or photos. We can work on a permission form for parents to sign should we want to use photos of our work. This is an issue that has not been resolved as of yet, however. We will keep you posted. In the meantime, we need to protect the privacy of our colleagues and students.
