Welcome to the interactive companion to the Parent 2.0 wiki. Wikis are helpful for collaboration, but are not so useful for conversations. This site provides that venue for discussion and exploration of the ideas associated with building a K-12 Parent Portal in the Parent 2.0 wiki.
You may post anonymously or create an account to be kept informed of changes on the site. If you choose to create an account, please click here for additional information. Thank you for participating!
This site will also be the home of the K-12 Parent Portal Implementation Guide (click the "Guide" menu tab to access). Join the journey and provide feedback as the Guide is developed. The Guide will reside here as a tool available for use and a pdf version will be available for download.
There are two ways you can participate:
First, you can participate in the conversation specific to the development of a K-12 Parent Portal. Click the menu tab "Conversation".
Second, you can join an existing discussion specific to you or in the general forum or by starting your own discussion thread, or in the general discussion forum. Click the menu tab "Forums".
