[|What's a Wiki?]


 * Summary:**

So you've seen a wikispace or you've heard about them? Would you like to create your own

wikispace? In this brief hour, you will create your own wiki and learn the

mechanics of the toolbar, including inserting links, files, images, videos and RSS feeds. You

will learn how to add a page, change the style and background, add music, and begin to

examine some "tricks and tools" to enhance the visual appeal of your wiki.




 * Materials:**

Prior to this session, please give some thought to what you may want to call your wikispace

that you will be creating.
