//The Wiki is primarily designed to be an open medium of exchange.//
There are several basic objectives I would like to accomplish with this Wiki space that fall into three (3) broad areas:
 * To provide hands on exposure and experience in using a Wiki to those that may not had the opportunity to do so.
 * To investigate and experience some of the potential limitations as well as the benefits of a Wiki for a K12 environment.
 * To provide a centralized communication vehicle for the BASD Acceptable Use Policy review team to begin planning for the implementation of Blogs, Wikis, and possibly student e-mail, to augment the classroom instruction across the district.

The following are some more specific objectives that I feel are important and merit dialog here. As we move through this process I am sure we will be including more.

To create discussion and the exchange of ideas:
 * to develop District-wide objectives to guide the use of Blogs/Wikis in the classroom.
 * about the potential pitfalls of using Blogs/Wikis in the K12 classroom and how they can be avoided.
 * of how best to provide professional development for the use of Blogs/Wikis in the K12 classroom.
 * of ideas on how best to deploy Blogs/Wikis in the K12 environment to ensure effective and efficient use.
 * to post suggested items for inclusion in an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that deals with the safe and effective use of Blogs/Wikis in an educational K12 environment.
