Creating Wikis | Elk Grove USD Workshop, June 19 2010

=Goals and Description= toc

After completing this course, you will be able to: · Create your own wiki · Post content (text, links, images or videos) online · Format text and insert pictures and links · Embed videos, calendars, forms and slide shows · Establish privacy settings

As an instructional tool, you can use your wiki to: · Publish class notes, PowerPoint lectures, schedules and policies; show off examples of great student work. · Facilitate group projects, build collaborative pages, start discussions and encourage comments. · Keep parents involved and post assignments, key dates and volunteer lists – all available at home, from work, or anywhere. · Give students their own pages to start a portfolio, post content, upload homework and share their work. · Expand learning horizons beyond the classroom – share and interact with other learning groups across town or around the world.

=A short video explanation about Wikis= If you see just a blank space under this title, it's because YouTube is blocked on your station. Try viewing it from another station. This video is by Common Craft and can be found on their Youtube Channel.

How to get updates about activity on your wiki
This is a screenshot of my e-mail inbox after our session. Because I follow wikiwide changes, I get an e-mail every time a page is changed by someone else. To set this up for your wiki, go under Notify Me tab.
