  5. Sign Up • Sign Up for an account at http://www.wikispaces.com/t/x/teachers100K • Wikispaces is offering a free “NO ADS” space to educators • You can add text, websites, images, and media • Wiki’s are a great way to communicate on the internet with students, parents, teachers, etc. Screencast at http://screencast.com/t/2QdTwdscYsQ

  6. Sign Up • Fill in all the spaces and make sure you mark where indicated!!

  7. View your Page • Once you have created your account, you will need to sign in. • You will see this screen:

  8. Opening Page • Left side is your navigation • New Page, Recent Changes, Manage Space, Search & Home

  9. Opening Page • Top area are your page tools • Edit, page, Discussion, History, & Notify Me

  10. Edit Your First Page • Click on the word Edit • You will see this toolbar: • It works just like a word processor • You can add lines, links, pictures, media sources, tables, and special characters Screencast available at http://screencast.com/t/Ykz2YVNMWj

  11. Save Your Page • Once you have added text to your page, make sure you SAVE your page.

  12. Manage Space • The Manage Space page gives you four items to work with • About • This lets you know who controls your page, if you have any other people who can post (members), and also your page license. • Space Contents • Lets you see what pages you have created, files you have uploaded, statistics, import a blog, and backing up or exporting your page. (except for pages and files…this is advanced wikiness in my humble opinion!!)  • Space Promotion • Lets you brag about your page or post a wikispace image on your personal home page/email/ etc.

  13. Manage Space • The next area is pretty important….. • Space Settings • First of all – you can set the name, description and license. • The license area should be read carefully because it gives you control over what people can do with what is posted in your wiki. • The Look & Feel area gives you the ability to colorize your wiki to your liking. Also the layout and if you wish to add an image as your logo. Grins, and if you are brave (I am not) you can edit the wiki styles sheet. • Members & Permissions allows you to invite people to View And/Or Post (such as students, fellow teachers, etc) • Subscription – Double Check this area – you should have an ad-free site!!!

  14. Recent Changes – Great Tool • This tool is available on the left side toolbar. • It allows you to track WHO has added data to your wiki. • Let’s pretend that you are using this wiki within your class and you invite each student to join – with a nickname of course. • And you assign a question to be answered on the wiki for homework. • This tool allows you to see WHO has posted and when.

  15. Some Thoughts • Wikispaces also has a TOUR you might wish to take at https://www.wikispaces.com/ (it has audio) • Don’t worry if you make a mistake on your WIKI – you can also Edit/Undo or just not save. • Check out the settings at the top right of your wiki to set some personal options. • Check out the HELP option if you get stuck or drop me an email.
