Welcome to the Webkinz in Education wiki. This idea came out of a discussion on Twitter among educators interested in exploring the potential educational value of Webkinz.

For now, let's use this first page to talk about what how to structure this wiki for maximum value. It's open. Go ahead, share!

My plan is to use my class mascot ([|Gumdrop]) in whole-class activities throughout my K-4 computer lab curriculum (577 students). Not exactly sure what that will mean yet. Since it's only one Webkin, there is no way to involve each class member meaningfully, but I'm still learning the system (taught by my 12 year old daughter). How about you?

I created "Introductions" and "Research" pages as well as "Current Uses" and "Desired Uses" - what other page structures do we need?
