Sharing Your Wiki Address

Creating a New Page on your Wiki
1. Create a new page __on your wiki__ by clicking “new page” 2. The title of the page should correspond to the assignment- see wiki assignment page 3. Complete the entry (the directions for all wiki entries is on my wiki assignments page) 4. Don’t forget to save (You must complete your work in a Google Document or Microsoft Word document and copy and paste it onto the wiki. This way you have a back up of your work if the technology doesn’t work, times out, etc...) 5. Remember, you are adding a page to your wiki, not mine. Refer to my wiki for an example of each assignment.
