Mini Project #6 - Wiki


The fourth short project consists of the creation of a wiki. Don't forget to read the copies concerning wikis as well as reviewing the YouTube videos below concerning this internet resource.
Fourth Project Instructions:
Create your own wiki using http://www.wikispaces.com. This is a free platform, and you may also obtain a free upgrade for using it with K-12 students only.
This mini project should have the following aspects:

  1. Create your own wiki using http://www.wikispaces.com and send wiki invites to your students, classmates as well as myself (1%)
  2. Set up your wiki for a specific course or lesson, using grammatically correct English throughout, in which your students will actively participate in at least once (1%)
  3. Add 1 widget, such as a course calendar with events inserted in the calendar (1%)
  4. Add at least 2 pictures and/or logo (1%)
  5. Create at least 4 links within the wiki (1%)
  6. And finally create 1 project and/or use an existing project as a base for the task in groups (1%)
It is important to review the videos first, and it is extremely helpful to use the HELP visual instructions when creating your wiki. If you have any problems or need to be shown hands-on how to do any element, please feel free to see me during my office hours: Tuesdays 1-3 pm in the English lab or in the International Affairs Office and Fridays from 12 to 1 pm in the English lab
The following is a sample wiki which I used last year in American (US) Literature: http://tamatha-rabb-educational-wiki.wikispaces.com/
