Using+WORoom+11+Wiki

Students have their own Workspace. Go to "Projects" and click on your name. If your name is not there, your teacher has not set up your space, yet. This Writing Workspace allows you to share your writing from home and school. One exciting component of your Writing Workspace is the opportunity for your classmates and their parents to communicate with you about your writing. Your teachers will be able to monitor your writing progress, attempt to answer your questions, and provide helpful suggestions about your writing.
 * WIKI 101 **

A wiki is basically a website upon which multiple users can place information. This information can include text, charts, images, links to other websites, and even video. Unlike traditional websites, the creator does not need to understand HTML (web page creation language) or use expensive web editing software in order to place content on the wiki. All you need is a username and a password. You then need to become familiar with a few basic features of the wiki. With just a little practice, you'll soon become a "wiki-wizard."

Your teacher sets up your Writing Workspace. Once your Writing Workspace is set up, try it out. First, write a rough draft. Second, re-read your piece and revise. Third, with the help of an adult, type your story on your Writing Workspace.
