What’s a Wiki? Oh Chan…now what?

We are heading off to Wiki-Land!

  • STEP ONE:  Before we go to WikiLand, WATCH this video with your groupmates. 
        • (Yes, you HAVE to.)

The video will help you to better understand what a Wiki is.  This video lasts about 5 minutes (give or take).  Watch the whole thing - it HELPS, really.  In addition, you never know when I will ask you to make a teaching video yourself…… (hint hint) 

 

Done?  

Then there are a few things you need to do. 
Feel free to print a copy of these if having the paper in front of you is helpful. 

  • Step Two:  Leave a COMMENT on this post and tell me 2 things you learned about Wikis (if they are new to you) or 1 thing you learned about Wikis and 1 thing you learned about short videos that teach.

Stick to your topic - be thorough!  Research help on the internet - and CITE YOUR SOURCES!!!
