How to log on and use Wikispaces: 1. Step one: click on the link for the wiki you you want to join. The link for the SOCSD Collaboration Wiki is http://socsdcollaborationwiki.wikispaces.com. 2. Choose a user name. Keep in mind that this name is the name that will be shown when you post in a discussion forum. With this in mind do not allow students to use their full names. There is research that has shown that students feel more at ease to post their thoughts and ideas if they have a degree of anonymity. This may not be an issue for teachers. 3. Choose a password and enter your email. This will allow you to receive messages. 4. You have joined Wikispaces but not a specific wiki on Wikispaces. On the top left there will be a link that says join this wiki. Click that and write a brief message letting the wiki organizer know who you are. If students create names that do not reveal the student's real name they need to tell the teacher who they are. 5. After you have requested membership, you have to wait to be approved. That takes a little time. 6. Once you have joined the wiki go to the manage site to determine if you want to monitor changes to the entire wiki, and/or individual pages. .
