Welcome to the EDG957 Building Online Learning Communities class wiki.  This wiki will allow us to share what we have learned in the class with other educators.  We will be collaborating to share tips we learn through trying out a variety of new online applications and ideas for using these applications in educational settings.  Visitors who are not part of the class may view work on the wiki and use the resources shared, but must request permission to post to or edit any of the pages.  To add new content to this page or others, click the edit tab.  The side bar includes a list with links to all of the pages in this wiki.  You may add pages as needed.  Please see the course syllabus in WebCt for complete instructions, posting requirements, rubrics, and due dates.

Posting Guidelines - This is a collaborative class project.  As such, you are encouraged to edit and add to the posts of your classmates.  When you change the work of a classmate, please add a comment to the bottom of the page explaining the change.  If you are just adding supplemental material or correcting spelling or grammatical errors, you do not need to add an explanation.  This is a professional learning community, so all users are expected to be respectful of the views and work of others and to contribute quality work to share with other educators.   

To Insert Images or Files- Once you are in the editing tab, on the right sidebar, you should see "Insert Links."  There are two tabs, one for pages if you want to insert a link to another page and one for images and files if you want to insert images or links to files.  Click on "Images and files" and then select "Browse."  Find the image or file.  A link will be created in the sidebar.  Place the curser at the point in the page you want to insert the image or file and click on the link in the sidebar.   Do not use copyrighted images or other copyrighted material in your posts to the wiki.  If you are including images or other works which are not your original work, be sure to give credit to the source you got the work from.  Google Images and www.flickr.com are good starting points for images, but there are many others.
