I have one student who is not able to accept the invite and I can't figure out why. I have tried to invite him now with three different emails, but to no avail. He gets the invitation, but when the wetpaint pop-up comes up, he gets the members only page. Has anybody else had this experience or know what to do?

TYLENOL - that's what's missing at Wetpaint. It's not the changes - it's the lack of notification or sending of a simple email - it's learning of policy changes like this while you're presenting at a conference in front of 100 people. When Tylenol tampering happened back in the early 80s - that company's upfront honest dealings helped people sympathize with the company and brand loyalty thrived. Contrast this with both the timing and lack of communication of the past three months and you're going to get huge uproars and people with hurt feelings and anger. A week before school starts ad-free edu sites are pulled. We find out invites to private sites won't work by "Invite not able to accept." type posts here. Can't change the past - but the perception on the street is Wetpaint is abandoning education. You can't be surprised by that perception given the poor communication over the past three months.

I teach a middle school video production course. The kids videos are on schooltube, I was wondering if there might be a way to put these short videos on our wiki page so that students can give each other feedback. Youtube is blocked anyways and I am very uncomfortable with putting student videos on youtube so that we could upload them to the wiki site. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Hi,
I wanted to know about education upgrades. I have implimented a number of wetpaint sites at the University that I work at. It has been a great tool. The last site that I created did not come with the education upgrade option. Has this been withdrawn from the feature set of the site? Or is there a limit for the number of sites that you can apply for education upgrades? Thanks,
Rahul.

I fully understand the logisitics of dealing with 1000 requests a week for new pages for ads free wikis.
Can wetpaint set up a SCHOOL registration program? It would be on the school administrators to send you documents asking for a school wiki to be set up.
you could then set up individual school wikis, giving the permission and admin control to the person who sets it up.
That way individual teachers would have to go THROUGH their school to set up wiki pages. It would lower the reqested wiki pages (and associated logistics) for wetpaint from thousands per week, to several hundred, and then it would taper off as schools were signed up.
By making it up to the school administrators/IT folks handle the paper work (a proof of location, school charter, etc...) it would make life much easier for wetpaint.

Wetpaint continues its assault on education-based wikis with the decision to not allow invitation signup to a site designated as "private." This means the site needs to be made public before new members can sign up for it. This window of public mode will make Wetpaint totally unusable in any educational market as student's work, images and information will be opened to public view. Totally unacceptable in education. Their cold shoulder treatment of this very viable potential customer just amazes me. What the hell are they thinking? I'm done - last post on a Wetpaint wiki for me!

This task is not possible from my recent research of these help forums. You can "ban" members, but that is not the same thing. So yes, Wetpaint, I would like to re-create my site each year with a new class and continue to use your service.... but first you need to have better controls over the members such as a simple "delete" tool just like you refered to in the FAQ with your announcement.
And just as others have responded to this sad news, I too have referred several people to this service for both education and other purposes. To dishonor the loyal education base in this manner... right before the school year at that.... is really disheartening to me. I will no longer be recommending Wetpaint.

I too am completely disheartened by the deletion of ad-free wikis. I was about to do a workshop to introduce my colleagues to Wetpaint and encourage them to use the site, but after this happened, I am not. My students are ESL learners and they find the ads very distracting. My colleagues were also unimpressed by this new interface--so, sadly, back I go to PB Works (formerly PB wiki) as they still honour ad-free websites, and that is what I'll have to recommend to my colleagues at the workshop as per my administrator's request...

Use these resources to make sure you give credit to the creator of the source you use for your project! Ask your school what format they want it in. Usually, most middle schools use MLA- but double check!

I work for Jefferson Parish Public School System and I teach teachers how to use technology with their students. I have trained hundreds of people on how to use wetpaint wikis, but now because we are no longer able to remove the ads we are going to switch to another provider. I am very sad about this because I love wetpaint, but we can not deal with the ads. :(

"I am also in the same boat. I'm not knocking WetPaint at all- they have been so generous over the past couple years to educators. I understand their "Freemium" model and the need to generate income. I, too, have trained thousands of educators in my own district as well as regional, state, and national conferences encouraging the use of WetPaint. $20/month is way too expensive in education. In my district alone, let's say 100 teachers wanted to use and set up a WetPaint wiki. That's $2,000/month = $48,000/yr. That's the equivalent of removing one teacher from the classroom.
We will be searching for viable alternatives as well- though none seem to be as good and simple as WetPaint." I have used both Wetpaint and Wikispaces. I like them both because they do have several similarities. But of course I was very disappointed with the decision Wetpaint made concerning ads. I did not see the same similarities in pb wiki. So in my school system we are switching to wikispaces. And wikispaces does have the add free opion for k-12 educators. Hope this helps some of you

This summer I started a Wetpaint wiki that I'm now using to teach a first-year "seminar in academic inquiry" at a a four year liberal arts college.
I sent invites to all my students, but only 33 of the 41 can sign in. Some have created user IDs, but can't use them to sign in. I have circulated the Wetpaint help page that advises what browsers to use, and to clear cookies and cache.
I obviously can't support these students, but who can? Wiki participation is essential to the course, "Internet, Society and Everyday Life," and to the student grades. I have invested the startup costs in having Wetpaint host the site (and they have graciously removed ads). Lastly, I would very much like to present about our class's use of a wiki at a conference coming up later this fall.

I have sites set up for my English students. I am having the same problem with a small group of students in one class. No one can sign in. They receive a message that they are already members. When they go to the site, they are told that this is a private wiki and they must be invited. I have invited them all.

It was such an embarrassing situation for me when I had to finish my college thesis writing and I was not getting enough time to understand thesis paper writing guidelines, and I wasn’t getting enough thesis writing help.
For more detail visit site http://www.educationalwriting.net/thesis.htm
It was torturing to see others celebrating the success of their college thesis paper leaving me behind. Well, I never lost hope and I once thought of getting my thesis paper written by online thesis writing service. I learnt one thing that there is nothing impossible if you are determined. So is writing thesis paper. After a great effort I finally found some thesis writing help.
There are some guidelines for writing good thesis paper which made me write a successful college thesis paper.
For more detail visit site http://www.educationalwriting.net/thesis.htm
• Read and analyze other college thesis papers before you commence writing your own thesis paper. • Start writing research thesis with what you know best. • Add college thesis proposal into thesis section. • Keep the name of places/people real in first thesis draft • Make your thesis paper unambiguous. • Use and describe tables/graphs in your thesis paper. • Revise and edit your college thesis paper.
When you have got all the guidelines, it becomes quite easy writing a good thesis. I would strongly recommend you to first get thesis writing help and then go for thesis writing. You know you can’t risk writing your college thesis paper at any cost so it is better to be prepared rather than regret it later.
All the best with your thesis writing
