Details and Technical Information about the WIKI:
MOST IMPORTANT: Because this WIKI is web-based and can be viewed by the public, and because this is
a class WIKI where we all need to know who is commenting, it is critical that your user name be your first
name (and last initial if there are two people with the same first name). Example: Mike P. Nicknames, cute or
funny names should not be used, and these accounts will be deleted from the WIKI.
To set up your WIKI account:
1. Set up an account and log in to the class WIKI by going to the Washburn Kirsten Webpage, clicking
on “Links” and then clicking on the “Alice’s WIKI” link, or go to kirstenenglish10.pbworks.com
2. On the WIKI homepage click on “Request Access” on the right, enter your email address(hotmail,
gmail, etc.), confirm the secret letter, and click on “Send to administrator” (that’s me). If you do not
have an email address see me and I can set up a WIKI account for you.
3. Go to your email inbox and click on the message from PB Works (it may have ended up in your junk
folder). Confirm your account by clicking on the link and then I will approve your account.
4. The next time you go into the WIKI it may ask you to reset your email or password. Do this by
clicking on “forgot password” and then entering your email and a new password. You should be good
to go now.
5. Once you have your account you can edit your profile and add a picture of yourself that will show up
next to your comments. A picture of you or a character from the novel or something that defines your
character would be fine. Keep these clean, and school appropriate (remember that I can delete your
account at any time). If you have to ask, choose another picture.
6. You should now be ready to start editing the WIKI and adding your insightful comments.
WIKI Tips and Reminders:
1.
Start by creating an excel spreadsheet to keep track of all the personal changes you make to the WIKI. As
you edit pages and add content, write down a short description of the changes you made to the page. Ex:
“Wrote description and analysis of the character of…” You will turn this in at the end of the unit.
2. Do all of your writing in MS Word before you post to the WIKI. Save this to your network folder. This
has two benefits: You can use spell/grammar check, and you have a copy of your BLOG that you will need
to turn in at the end of the project.
3. Create a Group/Team folder in the Kirsten folder to save images and other files your group uses for your
WIKI chapter page.
4. As the administrator, I have access to all accounts, comments, and content in the WIKI. Material or
accounts that are not school appropriate will be deleted
5. The administrator can also track all of the changes to the WIKI, so be aware that I can go back and see
who is responsible for all of the changes. This can be good because I can give you credit for work you
have completed, and I can also make sure the content remains appropriate.
6. When you post information into the body of the WIKI cite all of your sources at the bottom of the page so
we can give appropriate credit and have access to the sources for additional information.
7. When you post a BLOG-a 2+ paragraph thoughtful response to chapters, themes, characters, or other
topics related to the novel- start your comment with the word BLOG: so we know it is an original idea.
8. When you make comments to someone else’s BLOG you may want to start with, “In response to Jimmy’s
BLOG…” so we know what you are specifically referring to. Comments appear in the order they are
written, and this will help clarify your responses.
9. The body of the WIKI page is a good place for factual information, images, and supported analysis. Think
of this as a study guide we are creating for the class and others to learn about the novel. The comments
section at the bottom of the page is a good place for personal/individual impressions, analysis, and
comments related to the novel. This is where we discuss the novel in an online format. Think Quality!
10. Post often, be creative, do quality work, and have fun!
