= = Welcome to your class wiki. I bet you are wondering " What is a wiki?" and what/how it would benefit you in terms of learning and collaboration. If found the best definition of a wiki is in WIkipedia, So Please click this link to read the definition of a wiki and come back here to complete reading this page ( by the way Wikipedia is wiki where all users collaborate together around the world to build the most comprehensive encyclopedia). a wiki is a “ collaborative web space where anyone can add content and anyone can edit content that has already been published. Wikis present an approach to group writing and editing that is more efficient than forwarding e - mail attachments with tracked changes, a method that supports only one editor at a time and can create issues with students having multiple and conflicting versions of the same document. Wiki documents are available for editing and commenting to all members at all times. No one has to wait for a current file to be forwarded to them. It is easy to track each person ’ s contributions and to maintain a record of all changes and edits.

Anyone with access, permission, and a Web browser can contribute to a wiki. Members of a wiki can both add new pages and edit existing pages.

Now, your first step to be part of this wiki and a co-author of the project(s) that will ensue is to request membership of this wiki. Now I can send you invitations to your emails but, based on experience, this was a very tedious task. So all you need to do is 1- Set up a username and password for wikispaces by going here but DO NOT CREATE A WIKI AS THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE FOR YOU HERE:) 2- Next, Come back to this page http://djis11en09.wikispaces.com and click " join" or "join this wiki" at the top page. Follow the instructions. I will then receive and email of your request of which I will accept ( hopefully:). 3- Now you are a co-author of this wiki. 4- Whenever you want to edit a page just click the " edit" on the top page to edit. You can add text with a rich text document tool, embed any media file, image, video, slideshow, and any other media from a third party. But we will get back to this later. For now click "task1" below to start an icebreaker activity to familiarize yourselves with the wiki environment. When that task is done we will move on to our " Story Project" to get started. Happy wikiing :)
