Once you have gathered your research from the Web and created 10 flashcards using StudyStack.com, now you are ready to create a wiki! Remember, the purpose of this wiki is to share the info you've gathered about the documents with anyone on the Web who may be interested!
Follow the steps below, if you get stuck, ask for help!
***Only ONE (1) Google Site should be created for the group, so assign one group member to create your Google Sites page for the project! Then, this person should e-mail a link to Mrs. Williams, Mr. Zeller, and all other people in the group! Do this through Gaggle! BUT, everyoune in the group must be signed up with Google Sites in order to edit the group's page!
All Group Members - Complete the following steps in order to sign up with Google Sites:
- Go to sites.google.com
- Once here, you'll need to click on "Sign up for Sites." You will get a new webpage. Fill in the necessary info. Then, you will get a page telling you to go to your e-mail account, open up the e-mail that was sent from Google and click on the first blue link. This will take you back to Google Sites. You are verifying your account info to prove you haven't given a bogus e-mail!
- Click on "Manage your Account Info." From here, you can personalize your account! Have fun, but be school appropriate! :0)
ONE Group Member should do the following in order to create a Google Site:
- Once you have created a Google Sites account, go back to sites.google.com
- Log In using your e-mail and pasword.
- On the next screen, click "Create Site."
- Choose a Site Name - IT MUST BE RELEVANT TO THE PROJECT! For Example: Documents and Article I of the Constitution (try to be creative!)
- You may enter a site description.
- Next, choose "Share with EVERYONE IN THE WORLD"
- Choose a theme.
- Type in the letters at the bottom of the page into the field provided for security purposes.
- Click "Create Site"
- Congratulations! Aren't you proud? You just created a wiki for your group! Yea!
- Now... this part is very important! You must invite your fellow group members to edit the page!
- At the top of the Google Site in the tool bar, click "Site Settings" and choose "Share this Site" from the drop down menu.
- Now, click on "Return to Site" at the top of the page.
Next, all the group members now have access to the Wiki. You can begin adding the information you've gathered from the websites and document analysis worksheets!
On the home page, give an introduction to the webpage and describe the documents you've researched for the project.
How to cite your sources:
- At the bottom of each page of the wiki, you should create citations for the websites that were used to gather information.
- To generate the citation, use easybib.com. The link is on the FrontPage of the Collaboration Wiki.
- Copy and paste the generated citation from easybib.com onto the bottom of the wiki webpage being created.
- Put your citations in alphabetical order!
- Above your first citation, type: Works Cited (underlined)
- It's that easy!
+++ You may want to add a new page for each document to your wiki. Here's how:
- Go to the homepage of your Site
- Click "Create A New Page"
- Select "WebPage" as the templete.
- Name your new page - the document title is appropriate
