Creating+A+Wiki

**Step One: Creating an Account**
Creating An Account Video Go to @http://www.wikispaces.com and create an account for yourself. Just enter the user name you wish to use, a password, and a valid email address.
 * Note: Students will need to create accounts to edit the class wiki so they will need to create their own username and password and have a valid email account. For identity's sake, I recommend instructing your students to use a naming convention (i.e. LastName.Firstname) so that it is easier for you to track which students did which editing*

Creating and Adding Students To Your Wiki

Once you have created the account, check your email and activate your account by clicking on the link under the "Confirm Your Email" heading.

Now you have a valid account, and are ready to begin to make your wiki.

**Step Two: Creating a Classroom Wiki**

 * Log into www.wikispaces.com using the username and password you just created for yourself. Click on the "Already a Member? Sign In" Link on the upper right side of the page.

Click on the "Create a New Wiki" Link after you have logged into your wiki account.

Choose a name for your wiki, something easy to remember so that students can find it.

Under the Wiki Permissions heading, I recommend using Protected (Free). This will allow any users (yourself or students) to change the wiki pages and add information, but it doesn't allow anyone who is not a member to make any changes.

Click the "Create" button on the bottom, and you're all set! You have just created your wiki.
