Re: Web-based Parent Conference Sign-ups

We looked into it but we wanted to avoid the cost and most seemed to have
need a lot of information inputted, which didn't save us any time.

Instead, we created a free wiki on wikispaces.com. Created a sign-up sheet
and sent the address to parents. We've used it once so far and it was not
only successfully but very popular with parents. Because the pages could be
edited by anyone, we asked parents not to share the link with their children. The
site records every change, so it would be easy to see if anyone was up to any
monkey business, which was another concern. We had no problems.
