Wiki Creating a Student Wiki Follow these directions EXACTLY …otherwise, you’ll have wiki headaches all year! 1.  Log on computer and then go to [|www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers] 2.  Enter user name as first_last For example: arna_clark 3.  Enter password (at least 6 characters) 4.  Enter email address (if you don’t have an email, set up a free gmail or hotmail account first) 5.  Create a space and space name as firstlastclassperiod# For example: arnaclark5 6.  WRITE YOUR WIKI ADDRESS AND PASSWORD HERE. 7.  Choose “protected (free)” for wiki. This means other students can view your wiki space but cannot edit it unless you give them permission to do so. 8.  Click “I certify this space will be used for K12” then click JOIN. 9.  Completing the above procedure should take you directly to a tutorial page. Close this page for now.
