How-To

Upload a file:
Click on the page you are adding to in the navigation menu. Click EDIT in the toolbar at the top.



Click the Insert Images and Files icon on the editor tool bar.

Click on the upload tab, then browse to find your file containing the completed presentation. Upload the file.

When the file has completely loaded, double click to insert it into the page.

You can also upload presentation, music or sound files in the same way. If you want to embed files (they open and play in the wiki page) use the "embed widget" option rather than "upload images and files". The SCRIBD widget works very well to open documents and Power Points. (See example Monique on the Showcase page.)

Create Your Own Wiki Page
You will be required to create a wiki page to showcase your unit. There are two options for you: You may create a page on this wiki and use it to showcase your unit, or you may create your own wikispace and link it to the Showcase page. Directions for both options are below.

To create a page within this wikispace, click the New Page button at the top of the page. This will open the page creation page, where you will name your page (please use your name or the name of your unit, following the rules for page names in Wikispaces). If you wish to use a template, click on the Start with a Template section and choose the appropriate template, then click CREATE. Please delete the directions in the template. You do not need to complete the page, as it can be edited as you complete work on your unit plan. It only needs to be completed by the time we have scheduled our Showcase.

To create your own wikispace, go to the dashboard (click on your user name at the top of the wikipage), and click "Create a New Wiki" at the top. Your first page should be your home page, and can be the Introduction to your unit or can be your Showcase page. You can add pages as needed, as this will be your personal wiki, and can be used however you wish. We will discuss changing permissions and otherwise setting up your wiki during this class.
