====I set up this wiki in 2010 as I had been trying to find the best way to communicate with my school students, to provide them with work/worksheets when they're away, or ideas for catching up. I wanted to continue to provide and organise information, so they could access and instigate ideas, find worksheets and just remember where they were up to. I put information on it for weekly planning for students so they could see what's up for the week, where the emphasis was, get a few hints and links to other places and they could catch up if they were away from school, hoping that it would eventually be a vehicle for our discussion of ideas, asking questions and for general communication. ====

====Last year I became unsure about how useful this wiki was so I also shared notes and documents with students using googledrive and this seemed only partially useful as well. For all the work and time I've put into the wiki and googledrive I haven't decided yet whether it is really worth continuing. This year I am also adding Facebook groups so that I can link to this wiki and to the googledrive - I see Facebook as one thing that most students have in common - so I should be able to link to other places from Facebook. ====

====You'll notice, on the left hand side, links to pages for different topics. At the moment I plan to only make these visible when we are doing those particular topics but that may change. ====

====This is the senior wiki but it links to another one which is for my Year 9 and 10 students (juniors in the NZ system), called fastforwardmaths. ====
