I've given all the students access and will be giving them their user names and passwords after we get back from Thanksgiving break. I entered all the teachers' emials to the site last night and have had a few of them visit it already. I think this is really going to work out. Thanks for your reply, Kristine.

The easiest way to invite a class of high school students who have email address to a private wiki is to turn on request access. This means that when a students goes to your private wiki, they can request access to edit and view the wiki pages.

I looked for this capability yesterday and was unable to find it. I have spent yesterday and today entering all the high school students into classroom accounts so they would be able to edit the wiki. However, I was elated to see that public editing was now available so that the students could still create and edit pages on our wiki. When I went to 'wiki security' the option 'Anyone can edit this wiki' was not available as a choice. Is this option only available on your premium accounts?
