Wikis

How To: Create a Wikispace 1. Go to www.wikispaces.com 2. Enter a username, password and an email address. Make sure this is the email address where you want to receive updates and confirmations from Wikispaces (ie: an email address that you check often) 3. Enter the name of your wikispace. You can have an unlimited number of wikispaces, so this is just the name of your first wikispace. Each wikispace name has to be unique. Your wikispace can be your name ( [|y] our_name.wikispaces com) or your classroom (your_nameclass.wikispaces com). Just make sure it is something that is easy to get to and easy to remember. 4. Once you have created your space, a help section will appear to provide a quick tutorial on managing your wikispace.
