I think it is great that you are narrowing the audience for your wiki with a focus on Reading First campuses and McGraw Hill texts. Although most of the education websites are great, it seems like sometimes they can get too big and overwhelming for teachers not used to technology. Your sight seems to be a lot more personal and inviting to all teachers within your target audience.

I agree with Jenna. I created a wiki for my school as well but included K-5th grades. If you look at 2nd grade, you'll notice there are many more resources there than in any other grade because I am a 2nd grade teacher. I have asked the grade levels to either upload or even send me a lesson so that I can post it on the wiki...you have no idea how hard it has been trying to collect the lessons. I know a lot has to do with TAKS testing right now but hopefully, once I present the wiki at a faculty meeting, I'll be able to have more teachers onboard.
