Wikis+101+-+What,+How+and+Why

__** Wiki Basics **__ 1. You and your tribe members will create a wiki for //Lord of the Flies//. What is a wiki? A wiki is a website developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content. We will be using http://www.wikispaces.com/ The purpose of a wiki is to deepen your understanding of the book, to facilitate discussion and to make your thinking transparent as much as possible.

2. You must first set-up an account []

3. Your username should be your firstnamelastname Your password should be your lunchcode Your email should be your school email: firstname_lastname@pequeavalley.net

4. Example: Username: suzysmith Password: 21007986 Email: suzy_smith@pequeavalley.net

5. One of you will be the organizer of the wiki. You will need to give other group members and me full access so that we can edit content. Under permissions check "protected" - the box that says everyone can view pages, but only members of this wiki can edit pages. Also check the box that says "allow discussion posts and comments from non-members".

6. Name your wiki: pvislotfCAsectiongrouporganizerlastname Example: pvislotf8esmith

__** Accountability and Group Participation **__ I will be able to see who is active in the wiki at any time, see any recent posts, by whom and when. You can not hide or fake participation in a wiki. Therefore everyone has an equal and vested interest in its creation and evolution.
