SLANZA Wiki reading lists

A team of SLANZA members led by Miriam Tuohy and including Carole Gardiner, Karen Carswell and Bridget Schaumann have been working for about six months on a new resource for SLANZA members, staff and students of your schools.

We know that large numbers of the SLANZA community use the Wetpaint wiki we set up nearly 4 years ago, but to ensure better support and maintenance of the wiki, we have decided to move the reading-related content to a purpose-built SLANZA Reading site that will sit alongside our main website. The reading site will have a similar look and feel to the main site, and offer us improved functionality over the old wiki.

Regular users of the wiki need to note a couple of things:  

• The new site will be primarily for reading lists.  
• The Wetpaint wiki we have been using will be discontinued at the end of this term.
• We know from our stats that the most used pages are the reading lists but we are aware that some people may still be using links from the wiki to external sites. If you regularly use links from the wiki, we advise you to save them to your bookmarks (or whatever curation system you use).  The new site will include links to reading-related research and resources only.

We are looking forward to sharing our work with you, and we hope you will like it. We expect to launch the new site before the end of this term.

Miriam and Bridget
